Australian Water Association (AWA) is a non-profit organisation that serves as the peak body for the Australian water industry. It is a member of the International Water Association.

History

[edit]

The AWA was formed in June 1962 as the Australian Water and Wastewater Association (AWWA), with state branches in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria.[1] The first federal convention of the AWWA was held in Canberra in 1964.[2] An Australian Capital Territory (ACT) branch was formed in 1968,[3] which was joined by Northern Territory, Tasmania and Western Australia branches in the 1970s.[4]

By 2022, the AWA had over 5,000 individual and organizational members.[1]

Activities

[edit]

In 1974, the AWWA established Water as its official journal.[5] It switched to an e-journal format in 2016.[6]

The AWA has hosted the annual OzWater conference since 1993.[1] It is a partner in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Australian Water Partnership, which supports water management initiatives in the Indo-Pacific.[7]
