ANZSOM recognises that a planned and strategic approach is vital to ensure its continued relevance to members and its long term sustainability.
Formally established in 1972, with aim of supporting and representing doctors involved in occupational medicine, ANZSOM merged with the Australian College of Occupational Health Nurses (ACOHN) in 2008 and now represents medical, nursing and other professionals involved in workplace health. The society has active branches covering all states and territories in Australia and has approximately 300 members. The General Council established its first Strategic Plan in 2014.
ANZSOM is pleased to introduce its new Strategic Plan 2027–2030, which outlines the organisation’s priorities and strategic direction for the next four years. The plan reflects ANZSOM’s commitment to supporting its members, strengthening the profession and ensuring the organisation continues to make a meaningful contribution to occupational health across Australia and New Zealand.
The Strategic Plan will guide the work of the Executive, General Council and Secretariat, providing a shared framework for achieving ANZSOM’s goals and supporting its long-term sustainability. Download the Strategic Plan 2027–2030 below.
