The Ministerial Advisory Committee on AIDS, Sexual Health and Hepatitis (MACASHH) was established late 2003.

The advisory structure consists of an overarching MACASHH and is supported by three expert subcommittees:

  • the HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmissible Infections Subcommittee (HASTI)
  • the Hepatitis C Subcommittee
  • the Indigenous Australians’ Sexual Health Subcommittee (IASHC)
The membership of each committee comprises experts from relevant medical specialities, public health, health promotion, treatment and research, and community representatives.
