The Flight Stewards' Association was formed in 1958 for male members, existing in parallel to the Airline Hostesses' Association for female members that was formed in 1956. In 1984, the Flight Stewards' Association became the Australian International Cabin Crew Association and in 1992 amalgamated with the Australian Flight Attendants' Association (previously the Airline Hostesses' Association) to become the Flight Attendants' Association of Australia.
