Australian Journalists' Association

The Australian Journalists' Association (AJA) was a professional organization representing journalists in Australia, advocating for their rights, working conditions, and industry standards. It aimed to improve employment terms, promote ethical journalism, and support members through training and collective bargaining. Over time, it evolved and merged into broader unions, such as the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA), which continues to serve media workers today. The AJA played a key role in establishing industry benchmarks and ensuring journalists could perform their work fairly and ethically.
