The organisation was previously named the Australian Physiological and Pharmacological Society (APPS), and became the Australian Physiological Society (APS) in 2003 as by then the society represented only physiologists. The society now uses the acronym AuPS to avoid confusion with the American Physiological Society, which also uses the acronym APS.
