The Aboriginal Studies Association – the ASA – is for everyone who is involved in Aboriginal Studies, or wants to be involved, or wants to know more.

We are affiliated with the NSW Joint Council of Professional Teacher Associations, but we are not only a teachers association, or only for teachers of Aboriginal Studies.

The ASA is for teachers, students, parents and community – both Aboriginal and other Australian – consultants and liaison staff, and anyone who wants to know more or to share about Aboriginal Studies

One of the things the ASA is about is to help empower the many teachers who want to do the right thing in Aboriginal education but don’t feel they know enough.

Aboriginal Studies is all studies of Aboriginal Australia – history, heritage and issues now – both as a subject in its own right and as perspectives across the curriculum.

The ASA has always had a close working relationship with the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc, the AECG.
