The Records Management Association of Australia was established in 1969 and the Victorian Branch, New South Wales Branch and Federal Office were formed in the same year. By 2003, the Association was known as the Records Management Association of Australasia and in 2011 the name was changed to Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia. The Association now represents over 3,000 records and information management professionals with Branches across Australia and New Zealand, as well as a Chapter in Malaysia.
