History
The Amalgamated Miners' Association of Australasia was formed through a merger of the Amalgamated Miners' Association of Victoria and several other miners' associations including New South Wales unions. The Hunter River District Coalminers' Mutual Protective Association (1860), the Illawarra Miners' Mutual Protective Association (1885), and Lithgow unions became branches of the union. The Barrier Miners' Association (formed in Broken Hill in 1884) became the Barrier Branch of the union in 1886. The union was succeeded by the Australasian Coal and Shale Employees' Federation in 1916.
