Australian Vegetarian Society

The Society was founded in the late 1800s to spread the principles and benefits of vegetarianism and the ideal of a humanitarian way of life in Australia. Since its inception, the Society has played a major role in promoting vegetarianism throughout Australia by organizing public meetings, lectures, films and videos as well as publishing and distributing literature.
The society, together with The Natural Health Society of Australia, publishes the quarterly magazine New Vegetarian and Natural Health which has become a major voice of the vegetarian and natural health movements in Australia. The magazine is automatically sent to all new members of the Society.

The Society liaises with conservation and consumer groups, both to further its own aims and to support campaigns with similar interests. It also maintains close contact with vegetarian societies abroad and is a member of the International Vegetarian Union. We also encourage the use of non-animal alternatives such as soya and rice milks, non-dairy spreads, ice cream alternatives, and so on.
