The redeveloped, new look AFAO website went live on 22 September and was officially launched at the AFAO Annual General Meeting on 4 November.

The major goals of the redevelopment were to improve navigational function and to better promote work and resources produced by AFAO, our members, and other related organisations. The redeveloped site aims to be a leading Australian portal to HIV/AIDS information, news and resources.

Key strategies to achieve these goals are: a restructured home page, a revised site structure, banner ads, featured links, related articles listings and a searchable Library, all of which add up to multiple entry points to information throughout the site.
