The Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG) is Australia’s only independent, impartial membership organisation and the nation’s peak body linking people, knowledge, and ideas across the many disciplines of ageing. Since 1964, AAG has been driving fresh thinking and stronger connections with one clear over-arching aim: to improve the experience of ageing by connecting gerontological research, policy and practice. 

With over 1300 members spanning every State and Territory, AAG membership brings together a powerful mix of researchers, aged care professionals, geriatricians, nurses, allied health professionals, policy leaders and other thinkers in ageing. Together, they represent the depth and diversity of expertise of members needed to tackle the challenges and embrace the opportunities of an ageing population. 

 Our 130 organisational members extend AAG’s reach to more than 100000 staff and volunteers nationwide, giving us a unique ability to influence programs, services, and policies at scale. Our strong reputation and decades of success reflect our multidisciplinary nature. Members value AAG’s trusted role as a connector: curating knowledge, sparking collaboration, and building the evidence base for real-world impact.

AAG is a member and sponsor the National Aged Care Alliance, playing a key role in shaping the future of aged care in Australia. Internationally, AAG’s leadership extends through active involvement as the executive office role in the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (Asia Pacific Region) and as the International Longevity Centre – Australia, ensuring Australian voices are part of the global conversation on ageing. 

At its heart, AAG is about connection, collaboration, and impact because ageing well is something that touches us all.
