AA Meetings in Oceania
Australia and New Zealand host two of the oldest and most active AA communities in the world, with meetings running daily in every major city and a strong online meeting culture connecting rural and remote members.
All meetings in the region are conducted in English and follow the same 12-step program used worldwide, coordinated by national General Service Offices in both countries.
Finding English-Speaking Meetings
Every meeting in Australia and New Zealand is English-speaking. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, and Wellington each run dozens to hundreds of weekly meetings across every format. Check our city pages for specific meeting times and locations.
