Membership details

Membership of the Society is open to any person interested in the study of insects and related groups, upon nomination by two financial members. An application form (PDF format) can be downloaded from here or is available from the Secretary and from Regional Councillors .

Society membership was 285 on 17 August 1965 and 331 at the end of 1966 when foundation membership closed. This has steadily increased to the present number of over 600 members. This makes the Society one of the largest biological sciences groups in Australia. 

About three-quarters of the Society's members are professional and one-quarter are amateur entomologists. Three State Societies - The Entomological Society of Queensland , The Entomological Society of New South Wales and the Entomological Society of Victoria - are Affiliates of the AES. Business firms have membership as Sustaining Associates.

  • belong to one of Australia's largest professional biological Societies, affiliated with FASTS, the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies.
  • publish in and receive the internationally recognised Australian Journal of Entomology published quarterly each year.
  • receive Myrmecia , the Society's News Bulletin - an informal communication, published quarterly, letting you know what is happening in Australian entomology.
  • attend the Society's annual scientific conference with your peers.
  • apply for the Society's research grants.
