The Australasian Faculty of Occupational & Environmental Medicine is the professional organisation committed to establishing and maintaining the standard of training and practice of Occupational Medicine in Australasia. Occupational Medicine is a medical specialty where highly-trained specialists focus on the effects of work on health and (conversely) health on work. It understands the full range of workplace and environmental hazards (chemical, physical, biological & psychosocial), associated risks of exposure to such hazards, and how these may cause an adverse impact on biological health, such as injury or illness. It covers all occupational/work groupings, and understands the nature of such work in terms of inherent task requirements, environment, and human ergonomics.

This website is designed to provide information and resources for Fellows and Trainees of the Faculty, as well as for health professionals who are interested in specialising in Occupational or Environmental Medicine.
