The AEA encourages and supports establishing local chapters and special interest groups to undertake ongoing education and training courses. These local chapters or SIGs organise social events, talks and conferences and have been established in several geographical areas (i.e. ACT, Moana Pasifika, NSW, NT, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia) and on specific topics (i.e. cancer, cardiovascular disease, environment, epidemiology in government, paediatric and perinatal epidemiology, clinical epidemiology and research synthesis methods, teaching methods or survey methods).

To be a member of one or more SIG please log in and indicate the appropriate group in your profile, and the convenor(s) will be notified.

The Australasian Epidemiological Association (AEA) is the professional organisation dedicated to excellence in epidemiological research, education, training and advocacy in the Australasian region. Our membership fees cover the costs of the bulletin and other membership benefits. The full AEA membership fee is AUD$110 per year (now a new option of 3 years at $315), with a reduced rate of AUD$60 for students and those from the Oceania Region (incl Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands - not including NZ), and those with special circumstances (retired, low income/hardship). In addition, we provide a 'special circumstances' category of membership at a reduced fee for members experiencing financial hardship. Become a member
