History
The Federation was formed in 1968 of staff associations of Colleges of Advanced Education. From 1979 it was known as the Federation of College Academics and then from 1986 as the Federated Council of Academics. In February 1987 the Union of Australian College Academics was registered as a trade union but it appears that the Federated Council of Academics continued as a separate entity as it published a journal 'in association with the Union of College Academics' until 1993. In 1993 the Union of College Academics amalgamated with other unions to form the National Tertiary Education Industry Union.
