The Australian Optical Society (AOS) is a non-profit organisation for the advancement of optics in Australia. The society was formed in 1983 for this purpose. The society is not a professional body and may include anyone contributing to or interested in optics in the widest sense.
The AOS was established:
- To provide a forum for persons involved in or in any way interested in optics
- To strengthen the teaching of optics in Australia
- To promote research in and other activities in optics in all its diversity
- To foster closer collaboration in optics both nationally and internationally
