Since its inception in 1990, the AGES Society has built on its mission to promote the safest and highest standards of clinical and minimally invasive surgical care for women through its three tenants of education, surgical training and clinical research. Now in its 26th year, the AGES Society is the premier gynaecological surgical association representing the majority of practising gynaecologists in Australia and New Zealand, with links to other societies throughout the Asia-Pacific region and international collaborations. The AGES Society Board welcomes you and invites you to interact with your board, the membership and become involved in your surgical society. The many achievements of this Society have only been made possible by participation and collaboration and we look forward to many more years of success.
