It promotes organic chemistry through regular meetings and national conferences, and awards to recognise outstanding contributions to the discipline of organic chemistry. As well as the A.J. Birch Medal the division has the Athel Beckworth Lectureship; the Lew Mander Best PhD Thesis in Organic Chemistry Award; the Mary Garson Medal; and the Organometallic Chemistry Award (with the RACI Inorganic Chemistry Division).

From the website, 16 March 2026:

'The organic chemistry division represents chemists working in the sub-discipline of organic chemistry. Our members are at all stages of their careers, from undergraduate to senior scientists, and have broad interests with overlap into other divisions of chemistry such as Physical, Inorganic, Materials, Polymer, Supramolecular, Medicinal and Chemical Biology. Central themes in our division are captured below, although this is continually evolving and changing as the modern face of organic chemistry does.

The Division covers all aspects of inorganic chemistry, including:
Organic synthesis
Natural products isolation and synthesis
Chemical biology
Green and sustainable chemistry
Physical organic chemistry
Homogeneous catalysis
