For 30 years the Joint Australasian HIV&AIDS Conference, the leading HIV conference in Australasia, has brought together delegates from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and the Pacific.
Importantly, the Conference reaches beyond Australasia, with keynotes and invited speakers from around the world. This makes for an event with global and local relevance, giving delegates a global platform with access to state-of-the-art research and evidence.
ASHM coordinates the conference to disseminate new and innovative research findings among delegates from a range of backgrounds including, but not limited to:
ASHM’s vision for reconciliation is that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experience equity, dignity, and respect in all aspects of life. Therefore, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples representation in research, policy and health education is an ongoing goal for both ASHM and the Conference, and we welcome all Indigenous delegates and submissions from Indigenous professionals.

The Australasian Sexual health Conference, which runs in conjunction with the HIV&AIDS conference, is delivered in collaboration with The Australasian Sexual and Reproductive Health Alliance (ASRHA). ASRHA is a group of partner organisations established to improve national and local responses to sexual health issues, via a multidisciplinary support network for the sexual health workforce. Through the conference, ASHM and ASRHA seek to bring together a wealth of knowledge and diverse local and global perspectives — from science, clinical medicine and allied health to community-led programs, indigenous health, policy and social research.
The Australasian Sexual Health Conference was first delivered by ASHRA and ASHM in 2013 in Darwin. Prior to this the conference had been run by the Australasian Chapter of Sexual Health Medicine (AChSHM) who are still a key collaborator of the conference.
