Because of the geographical area covered by the Society, meetings of members and other activities are generally conducted on a Regional basis. Each Region has its own Management Committee consisting of at least a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. The Chairman of each committee is a member of the AHS Council. The Society may, by special resolution, increase or decrease the number of Regions it recognises for the purposes of the constitution.

Currently there are four Regions, the East Australia Region, the West Australia Region, the New Zealand Region and the South West Pacific Region. There is also a new history division currently being incorporated into the AHS structure. The AOTM Division services the needs of those new members of the Society who were originally members and supporters of Australia on the Map: 1606 - 2006. The AOTM Division continues to maintain its own website.

The East Australia Region supports those members residing in all states other than WA, SA, NT and in New Zealand. The main activities of the region are centred on, but not limited to, the Newcastle/Sydney/Wollongong area with technical meetings being held periodically throughout the year.

Committee Members:

Chairman: Dave GARFORTH
Secretary: Roger HARVEY

The West Australia Region supports those members residing in Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia. The main activities of the region are centred on the Perth/Fremantle area with technical meetings being held periodically throughout the year.

As the name suggests, the New Zealand Region serves the interests of those members resident in New Zealand and the nearby islands. They produce their own newsletter "The BOUSTROPHEDON" and produce and maintain their own web site. In 2003 they hosted the most successful HYDRO 2003 Symposium

The AOTM Division services the needs of those new members of the Society who were originally members and supporters of "Australia on the Map: 1606 - 2006" (AOTM). The focus was particularly on the many Mariners who (whether by accident or design) charted our coasts – and put “Australia on the Map”, thereby making it known to the world. The primary vision of AOTM continues to be improving the understanding and knowledge of the nation’s history for all people of Australia.
The AOTM Division continues to maintain its own website at:

The South West Pacific Region will support those members residing outside of Australia and New Zealand. Currently it is in the embryonic stage with a Chair situated in Port Vila, VANUATU.
