* To coordinate and encourage scientific projects using amateur and professional skills;
* To encourage and assist with the publication of results;
* To maintain effective communication on parrot matters within Australasia, and with similar groups elsewhere; and
* To formulate and promote policies for the conservation and management of parrots and their habitat.

It publishes the newsletter "Eclectus".
