The role of the Australian Water Association has been to support the water industry in Australia as it faces the challenges of managing our water environment. At AWA`s inception in 1962, post-war installation of water and sanitation was high on the agenda.

Today`s challenges include the need to address the current professional skills shortage, uncertainty arising from the impacts of climate change, stressed water resources on a national scale, and water reuse and recycling.

The Australian Water Association has been operating for over five decades. The following section provides a short summary, for each reporting (financial) year, listing key milestones in the growth and development of the organisation.
