Australian Society for Microbiology (ASM)

The ASM is a not-for-profit organisation, formed in 1959 as a learned society devoted to furthering the science of microbiology. In 1976, the ASM became an incorporated professional society, and has a membership approaching 2000. The society functions in “bringing microbiologists together” with the objective of advancing the science of microbiology in Australia.

Aims & Objectives:
The ASM has a vision and mission around which we base our strategy. ASM members have a unique depth and breadth of knowledge about the discipline. The Society’s role is to help unlock and harness the potential of that knowledge and bring microbiologists together.

The ASM supports greater diversity within the field of microbiology.
