AUSOM (pronounced 'awesome') is Australia's largest and most active Apple User Group, with a 30-year history.

Formed in 1979, the Apple Users' Society of Melbourne (now named simply AUSOM) is easily the largest and most active Apple User Group in Australia, and following the demise or fragmentation of the larger US groups, now stands as one of the largest in the world, with a paid membership of close to 800, despite the advent and growth of the Internet.

AUSOM exists under relevant Australian regulations as an Incorporated Association - hence 'AUSOM Inc.' - but is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers.

It provides a wide variety of services for its members, as outlined in the sidebar at left.

Get among knowledgeable friends!

Your Apple Mac is the most versatile, easy to use computer available, but how can you explore its full potential? The Internet is great for getting help, but not if you don't know where to start looking. AUSOM provides you with contacts and information sources that can provide help in a way that's so much more personal and interactive than struggling with the Web. Other Apple devices like the iPhone and iPod are also covered in our activities.
