Although its first official records of meetings date from October 1924, the University of Queensland Academic Staff Association was founded in 1923. The first constitution was a far simpler document than its many successors with the aim ‘to promote the interests of the University of Queensland and of members of the association’. Membership was open to all teaching staff appointed for not less than five years (but changed to three in 1931).

Initially it was referred to as either the Queensland University Staff Association or the University of Queensland Staff Association (1923-1975).

From 1975, it was called the University of Queensland Academic Staff Association. In 1976 it applied to register as an industrial union.

In 1990 it joined FAUSA (Federated Australian University Staff Association) to become the University of Queensland Academic Staff Association/Branch Committee of FAUSA. In 1993, FAUSA and four other tertiary education unions amalgamated to become NTEU (National Tertiary Education Union). After the formation of the NTEU, the role of the UQASA was primarily transferring union fees collected by the University to the NTEU UQ Branch with little discussion at meetings.

ABSCHOL was the Aboriginal Affairs Department of the National Union of Australian University Students. Its activities became wider than its stated objectives especially when the Australian Government began a secondary school scholarships scheme. The national Australian Union of Students (the continuation of N.U.A.U.S.) dropped the name ABSCHOL in favour of "Race Relations Department".

In 1977 the name of Abschol (University of Queensland) was Abschol – University of Queensland Race Relations Office but it was known as Abschol. Its aims were to promote and aid higher education, including secondary, technical and tertiary education, for Aborigines; to inform university students and the community about the problems faced by Aborigines in furthering their education; to give scholarships to eligible students. Membership was open to all Australian Indigenous people, and to staff and students at the University of Queensland. The University of Queensland group retained the name ABSCHOL. Its activities emphasized close links with the Brisbane black community. It became inoperative in the late seventies. Since 1981 attempts have been made to revive it. Publicists for Abschol (University of Queensland) included: Budger Davidson, Jenny McLean, Denis Walker.

The Campaign Against Racial Exploitation (CARE) was a national anti-racist umbrella organisation. Its activities focused on anti-apartheid and Australian Aboriginal issues. It was formed in 1973 as the first national anti-apartheid and anti-racism network in Australia. Their newsletter ceased in 1990.

This group appears to have been a Brisbane group and may have only been active in 1984.
