| The Aged Services Association of NSW & ACT Inc. is a registered industrial organisation of employers who are aged and community care providers in the non-profit, charitable sector. The Aged Services Association [ASA] is a representative organisation in that it represents members' views politically at a Commonwealth and State level. The ASA provides lobbying, industrial, educational and policy services to members. ASA began as the Association of Voluntary Geriatric Agencies (NSW). The foundation members were the Anglican Church, the Baptist Church, the Big Sister Movement, the Catholic Church and the Churches of Christ. The Association of Voluntary Geriatric Agencies (NSW) was created to develop an industrial award covering conditions of employment and rates of pay for workers in aged care services. The name was changed in 1969 to the Voluntary Care Association and it became an industrial union of employers under the NSW Industrial Arbitration Act. In 1991 the Association became known as the Aged Services Association. The Association is currently registered with the NSW Industrial Registrar as the Aged Services Association Industrial (NSW) and with the Federal Industrial Registrar as the Aged Services Association of NSW & ACT.
