Related EntriesOnline SourcesArchival/Heritage Sources
Function: Trade Union (Peak Body)
In 1953 several meetings of kindred organisations were held to try and establish a permanent advisory council of non-manual worker organisations. The Council of Professional & Commercial Employees' Associations had been in operation since 1948. However, in 1954 a draft constitution of a new association was drawn up and the title was changed to the Council of White Collar Associations.

The Australian Council of Salaried & Professional Associations was formed on 17 October 1956 by an amalgamation of the Salaried Employees' Consultative Council of New soth Wales and the Council of White Collar Associations, Melbourne. With divisions in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, the Association merged into the Australian Council of Trade Unions in 1979.
