The Australian Sociological Association

The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) is the peak professional body representing sociologists in Australia. It was founded in 1963 as the Sociological Association of Australia and New Zealand (SAANZ). Following the separation of the New Zealand branch in 1988, the organisation adopted its current name, The Australian Sociological Association (TASA).

TASA organises an annual national conference and publishes the Journal of Sociology, first established in 1965 (originally titled the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Sociology). The association plays a central role in advancing sociological research, teaching, and public engagement in Australia. Membership numbered approximately 400 in the early 1990s and had grown to nearly 740 by 2022.
