The IAEM-Oceania Council represents IAEM members located in Australia, New Zealand, and all Pacific islands and nations (excluding U.S. Territories). The IAEM-Oceania Council, which became an IAEM Region in 2004, was the third Region outside the United States to join IAEM under the previous organizational structure.

When IAEM took on an international structure in 2007, IAEM-Oceania became one of seven Councils within IAEM-Global. The Council President represents Oceania members on the Global Board of Directors.  

IAEM Oceania Council’s Mission is to advance the profession by promoting the principles of emergency management; to serve its members by providing information, networking, and professional development opportunities; and to advance the emergency management profession.
