        The Australian Hairdressers Wigmakers and Hairworkers Employees' Federation was organised in Victoria before 1890. However, it was not registered with the Conciliation and Arbitration Court until the 1 June 1911. The Union amalgamated with the Mannequins' & Models' Guild of Australia and the Shop Distributive & Allied Employees' Association in 1991 to form a new Shop Distributive & Allied Employees' Association.
