ACON

About ACON

We are a fiercely proud community organisation. For our entire history, the work of ACON has been designed by and for our communities.

Established in 1985, our early years were defined by community coming together to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in NSW, and we remain committed to ending HIV for everyone in our communities. We do this by delivering campaigns and programs to eliminate new HIV transmissions. Supporting people living with HIV to live healthy and connected lives remains core to our work.

As we have grown, we have been proud to work with a diverse range of people to ensure their voice and health needs are represented in the work we do.

Our Purpose:

• We create opportunities for people in our communities to live their healthiest lives

Our Vision:

• We strive to be a global leader in community health, inclusion and HIV responses for people of diverse sexualities and genders

Our head office is in Sydney and we also have offices in regional centres across New South Wales. We provide our services and programs locally, state-wide and nationally.

Our primary funder is the NSW Government through the NSW Ministry of Health.
