AAHMS is an interdisciplinary body made up of 526 Fellows. Each Fellow is elected by their peers for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the health and medical sciences in their respective fields.

The cross-sector experience of our Fellows ensures that our advice is independent, expert and evidence-based. We use our knowledge and networks to drive change and provide leadership to ensure the most pressing health issues facing society can be addressed for everyone’s benefit.

The AAHMS Annual Meeting will take place on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 October at Old Parliament House in Canberra. This year’s program will focus on the role of trust in health and medicine.
