AFAO's membership is comprised of the national organisations leading priority communities on HIV issues at a national level, the State/Territory AIDS Councils, and a growing group of Affiliated Organisations.

Current members are:


 * the National Association of People Living with HIV/AIDS (NAPWA)
 * Anwernekenhe, the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander HIV/AIDS Alliance (ANA)
 * the Australian Injecting & Illicit Drug Users League (AIVL
 * Scarlet Alliance - Australian Sex Workers Association
 * the eight State/Territory AIDS Councils

Internationally AFAO also contributes to the development of effective policy and programmatic responses to HIV/AIDS at the global level, particularly in the Asia Pacific.
