Education Standards

The Australian Society of Archivists (ASA) plays a critical role in setting and maintaining professional education standards for the archival sector in Australia. The ASA establishes guidelines that define the skills, knowledge, and ethical principles required for archival practice. These standards inform university curriculum development, influences training programs, and guides professional recognition within the association and across the sector.

By aligning its expectations with international best practice and the specific needs of the Australian context, the ASA supports all archivists in being equipped to manage records and archives in a contemporary environment. This commitment supports a consistent, high-quality professional framework that underpins the sector's credibility and capacity to serve the public interest.
