AAS Organisation
The Australian Anthropological Society Inc was incorporated under New South Wales legislation in 1973 and represents the profession of Anthropology in Australia. The Society recognises that anthropological work is broad in scope and includes academic research, teaching, consultancies and public commentary. Members of the Society currently include a substantial proportion of the practising anthropologists in Australia, with some other members overseas in, for example, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Fiji.
