The Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS) was founded in 1956 and is the national society of the mathematics profession in Australia.
One of the society's listed purposes is to promote the cause of mathematics in the community by representing the interests of the profession to government.[http://www.austms.org.au/About+us About us], www.austms.org.au The society also publishes three mathematical journals. Professor
Jessica Purcell is the current president of the society.{{Cite web|title=Office Bearers – Australian Mathematical Society|url=https://austms.org.au/about-us/office-bearers/|access-date=2024-09-11|language=en-US}}

ANZIAM
ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics) is a division of The Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS). Members are interested in applied mathematical research, mathematical applications in industry and business, and mathematics education at tertiary level.[http://www.anziam.org.au/About+us About us], ANZIAM, www.anziam.org.au
The ANZIAM meeting is held annually at a different location in Australia or New Zealand. The 2020 ANZIAM meeting was held in the Hunter Valley, NSW.
ANZIAM awards three medals to members on the basis of research achievements, activities enhancing applied or industrial mathematics, and contributions to ANZIAM: the J.H. Michell Medal (for early-career awardees), the Ernie Tuck Medal (mid-career), and the ANZIAM Medal.{{Cite web|title=ANZIAM : Awards|url=https://www.anziam.org.au/Awards|access-date=2020-08-15|website=www.anziam.org.au}} In addition, each year the best student presentation is awarded the T.M. Cherry prize. As a tongue in cheek response, each year the student body also awards the best non-student talk a Cherry Ripe chocolate bar.{{Cite web|title=ANZIAM : Cherry Ripe Prize|url=https://www.anziam.org.au/Cherry+Ripe+Prize|access-date=2020-08-15|website=www.anziam.org.au}}
= Special Interest Groups =
ANZIAM has a number of special interest groups, based on specific research themes within applied mathematics: the Computational Mathematics Group, the Engineering Mathematics Group, Mathsport (concerned with the application of mathematics and computation to sport), the Mathematics in Industry Study Group, SIGMAOPT (concerning optimisation), and the Mathematical Biology Group. Each Special Interest Group runs an annual or biennial workshop or conference.{{Cite web|title=ANZIAM : Special Interest Groups|url=https://www.anziam.org.au/Special+Interest+Groups|access-date=2020-08-15|website=www.anziam.org.au}}
