Welcome to the Website of the Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research

The Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research, Incorporated (AIPR, Inc., or Parapsychology Institute) was established in 1977 and is a non-profit community association. The AIPR is based in Sydney, New South Wales, and its membership is world-wide.

Aims

The aims of the organisation are:

To collect, assess and disseminate factual information about claims of psychic (paranormal) phenomena.
To support and encourage parapsychology (the scientific study of paranormal phenomena). See Rosemary Breen's survey opportunity
To undertake or promote activities (e.g., fundraising, social events, etc.) in support of the above.

Philosophy

The AIPR advocates the use of the scientific method.
Psychic experiences (or claims of such) should be studied in the same way as other human experiences.
The AIPR places psychic phenomena in the broader context of experience, health and illness.

The Australian Journal of Parapsychology

The academic aims and philosophy of the AIPR are served through our peer-reviewed journal, Australian Journal of Parapsychology, which is published twice-yearly (June and December). The journal features research articles on parapsychology and book reviews.
