Incorporated in 1985 as the AIDS Council of NSW, ACON is widely recognised as an innovative and successful organisation which has adapted to changes in the HIV epidemic and responded early to emerging health issues among our communities.
Since our inception, we've been at the forefront of advocacy around issues relating to HIV and to sexuality and gender diverse health, drawing on our close connections to community to identify emerging issues and create dialogue around these issues with policy makers and researchers.
We've also worked alongside researchers and partners to build a stronger evidence base around HIV and sexuality and gender diverse health, much of which has subsequently affirmed the issues identified by our communities.
ACON Campaign Database
The ACON Campaigns Database is a digital archive featuring all the HIV and LGBTQ+ health related social marketing campaigns that the organisation produced since it was established in 1985 in response to the epidemic.
