The Australasian Evaluation Society (AES) is the primary professional organisation in Australasia for people involved in evaluation including evaluation practitioners, managers, teachers and students of evaluation, and other interested individuals. It has almost 1000 members involved in all aspects of evaluation and performance measurement. Members meet regularly through Regional Groups centred in major cities in Australia and New Zealand. Professional development workshops are conducted throughout Australasia on a regular basis.

The Society aims to improve the theory, practice and use of evaluation through:

  • establishing and promoting ethics and standards in evaluation practice as a service to the community of evaluators and users of evaluations;
  • encouraging advances in the theory and practice of evaluation by publishing such advances and by recognising outstanding contributions;
  • providing education and training in matters related to evaluation;
  • providing forums for networking and the discussion of ideas including society publications, seminars, workshops and conferences;
  • acting as an advocate for evaluation and encouraging understanding about the use and application of evaluation;
  • linking members who have similar evaluation interests; and
  • other activities consistent with this aim.

AES publications include:

A board of management provides overall governance, elected annually from the membership with representation from all regional groups. The AES is an Incorporated Association supported by a Secretariat based in Canberra.
