VAC grew out of and works closely with those communities most affected by HIV in Victoria. It is constituted by two legally distinct incorporated associations - the Victorian AIDS Council and the Gay Men’s Health Centre - which work together under the co-governance of a single Board of Directors (the Board) whose members are elected by the membership of each of the two organisations. VAC aims to improve the health and social and emotional well-being of the Victorian HIV positive and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) communities, with a particular investment in bringing the HIV/AIDS epidemic to an end. To achieve this aim, VAC:  Deliver HIV prevention, education and health promotion to gay men.  Provide services, support and advocacy for all people living with HIV.  Respond to emerging needs and developments in HIV prevention and care.  Support and promote the health and wellbeing of sexually and gender diverse communities.  Promote access to our services for these communities. VAC conducts its work following the principles of:  Meaningful participation of our communities;  Social justice;  Honesty and fairness;  Working to the highest standard;  Working collaboratively.
