The AAQ holds an Annual General Meeting at the beginning of the year, usually in February, and monthly Ordinary General Meetings thereafter. The AAQ also participates in the Queensland Combined Societies meeting and AstroQuiz.

The Ordinary General meetings have a format of brief business proceedings followed by a main item which is usually a presentation by a speaker on an astronomical topic. The main item is followed by Section Director's reports and Tabling of Observations.

Ordinary General meetings:

• Held in the Main Lecture Theatre in the Parnell Building, UQ, St Lucia, Brisbane.
• Visitors are welcome. Just look for the Theatre door at left through the main entrance.
• The venue has toilet facilities for the use of visitors.
• There is free off-street parking available at the site.
• Meetings are followed (weather permitting) by night sky observing on the lawns outside.
