Our Committees and Boards

The AIOH thrives because of the passionate members who volunteer their time and expertise through our committees, sub committees, working groups and boards. Each group has a unique focus, but all share one goal: advancing the science and practice of occupational hygiene in Australia.

As part of the Beyond 45 strategy, we’ve reimagined our committee structure to be more focused, collaborative, and effective.

We’ve gone from 9 standalone committees to 4 core committees, each supported by targeted subcommittees. This change reduces overlap, removes duplication, and makes it easier for volunteers to contribute where it matters most.

As an example, Mentoring, professional development, and recognition now work hand-in-hand. Subcommittees have clear roles, ensuring work is aligned with AIOH’s long-term goals. The result? Less administrative burden, more meaningful action, and stronger collaboration across our community.
