The Australia America Association was founded in Washington, D.C. in June 1989 by Australians and Americans dedicated to strengthening relations betwen Australia and the United States. The Washington chapter is part of ANZACC, a national organization with chapters in 24 cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver. As a non-profit organization, the Association is governed by a Board of Directors elected by a full panel of sitting Directors.

The membership of the Association reflects a diversity of geographic locations and interests. Members include Australians who are currently residents in the United States, either on a permanent, fixed long- or short-term basis. Other members are United States citizens and other nationalities who either have resided in or visited Australia, have family members currently living in Australia, or have a strong interest in Australia. The Washington chapter's membership includes residents from New York to Florida, although our members are primarily located in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C./Richmond corridor. The basic Individual Membership is $40.00 per year. Other Membership categories are: Business, Corporate, Sponsor and other Non-Profit Organizations.
