Since 1964 AAG has been Australia’s peak national body linking professionals working across the multidisciplinary fields of ageing. We have nearly 1,500 members working together to improve the experience of ageing by connecting research, policy and practice. Our membership includes practitioners, researchers, policy makers, allied health professionals, students, nurses, service providers, and geriatricians.

We have 19 collaborating centres that provide a strong research base across all areas of ageing. AAG also hosts Australia’s leading conference that attracts around 700 people every year, featuring international and local speakers. The conference connects research, policy and practice to improve the experience of ageing.

AAG has a policy and research team that inform independent, evidence-based policy and practice.

The NZAG was established 25 years ago and is a multidisciplinary organisation committed to understanding ageing and promoting the interests of older people.

Our vision is for a New Zealand in which older people are valued and respected; where they are able to contribute to society; have choices, are socially included and in which their wellbeing is optimised. The New Zealand Association of Gerontology acknowledges Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the foundation document of Aotearoa New Zealand and is integral to all activities undertaken by the organisation.

The ANZSGM is a professional society for geriatricians and other medical practitioners with an interest in medical care of older people. We have a particular interest in education, policy development and review, and political advocacy. We act to represent the needs of our members and the wider community in a bid to constantly review and improve the care of older people in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
