The AAG aims to expand knowledge of ageing, with the purpose of improving the experience of ageing.

The AAG is Australia's largest multidisciplinary professional association of people who work in, or have an interest in, ageing. Our diverse membership includes health professionals, academics, government representatives, providers and staff of aged care services, policy analysts, support workers, researchers from the social and medical sciences, administrators, voluntary agencies, students, and older people themselves. This multidisciplinary perspective is one of the key strengths of our association - if you are interested in ageing, we welcome your involvement and encourage you to join.

The AAG has a National program of activities, as well as active Divisions at State and Territory level.
It is also part of an international network, through its membership of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics.
