History
The Airline Hostesses' Association was registered in 1956 and existed in parallel to the Flight Stewards' Association for male staff. In 1984 the Airline Hostesses' Association which included an Overseas Branch for international cabin crew became the Australian Flight Attendants' Association, while the Flight Stewards' Association became the Australian International Cabin Crew Association. These changes happened when Qantas, the only international airline operating in Australia at the time, replaced 'Hostesses' with 'Female Flight Service Attendants'. In 1992 the two unions amalgamated to become the Flight Attendants' Association of Australia.
