Membership of the society is open to all people that have a professional and/or scientific interest in biomechanics; including students.
Regular events
- Every two years the society hosts the Australasian Biomechanics Conference (ABC).
- Annually they promote National Biomechanics Day (5 April), which started in the United States, in the region.
