The mission of the Association is to discover, disseminate, and directly apply knowledge of the health and diseases of wild animals in relation to their biology, ecology and conservation. This includes interactions with humans and domestic animals.

We are concerned with infectious, toxic, neoplastic, physiological and nutritional diseases, ecosystem health, husbandry and medicine, wildlife rehabilitation, captive breeding of endangered species, pest species, public health, and utilisation of wildlife.

The Australasian section consists of nearly 200 enthusiastic members including parasitologists, researchers, zoo vets, private practitioners, zoologists, pathologists, biochemists and students, with expertise across a broad range of disciplines and species.

Management of policies and activities of the Association is through an Executive Committee, which includes representation from each region.
