The voice of thousands of Australasian healthcare workers across the sector
ASHM represents healthcare professionals in HIV, BBV, and sexual and reproductive health. We partner and collaborate to enhance workforce capacity and strengthen health systems to address stigma and barriers to care.
As a trusted community of practice, we provide resources, training, conferences, and advocacy. Join us in eliminating harm, improving wellbeing, and protecting diverse communities.
Whatever ASHM raises in ordinary membership fees go towards our regional work. These fees (plus any other donations) play a pivotal role in our required fund matching principle which enables us to obtain DFAT funding. The specific current program being supported is the Triple Elimination in Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste (STEPT) Project.
Become a member today to support ASHM and the sector and help ensure the future of our services and supporting the region whilst gaining professional and personal benefits!

Our distinguished ASHM Honorary Life Members
Honorary Life status is the highest membership recognition given by ASHM and carries with it all the rights and privileges of a member, with exemption from payment of the annual membership subscription.
Each year we formally recognise one or two individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the Australasian, regional or global response to HIV, viral hepatitis, other BBVs and sexually transmitted infections and by doing so have furthered our vision and mission. Our achievements over the last 30 years would not have been made possible without the generosity of time, input, and expertise of our Honorary Life Members.
