Welcome to the Australian and New Zealand
Society for Geriatric Medicine

The Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine (ANZSGM) is dedicated to improving the lives of older adults by ensuring they receive the highest quality, patient-centred care. Our mission is to advance equitable healthcare for aging populations across Australia and New Zealand, with a focus on enhancing the well-being, dignity, and quality of life for all older people.

We strive to set and uphold the best standards of care in geriatric medicine, ensuring that patients receive compassionate, personalised treatment tailored to their unique needs. By supporting the professional development of geriatricians, we aim to empower healthcare providers to offer effective, quality care.

ANZSGM actively advocates for policies and innovations that prioritise the well-being of older adults. We work with governments, healthcare professionals, and the community to ensure that every patient has access to the care and services they deserve. Our members serve on committees and advisory groups, representing the voice of patients and geriatricians, helping to shape the future of aged care for the benefit of all older Australians and New Zealanders.

Why Join the ANZSGM?

“Membership of ANZSGM is a must for all geriatricians. We are a family of likeminded individuals striving to improve the health and well-being of our older population through scientific endeavour, policy and advocacy, education and training. The Society provides a valuable resources and support network for its members and the annual scientific meeting offers the chance to keep up to date with the latest research as well as catching up with colleagues and friends.”
