EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

The ASM is committed to the promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the discipline of Microbiology. The Society works to ensure that Equity and Diversity issues are considered in all its activities, including committee membership and scientific meetings. This includes ensuring appropriate inclusion of all career stages, sexes and sexualities, indigeneity, those with neurodiversity, those with a disability, people of colour, people of different cultural, linguistic and religious backgrounds, our rural members and representatives from different states and institutions across Australia. From 2024, we will collate year by year data to track and measure our progress in ensuring diverse, inclusive and equitable representation at our annual meetings.
