Administrative history
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.
