About us

Australian Shareholders' Association (ASA) is Australia's largest independent not-for-profit, shareholder association and has representation in all states of Australia. Founded in 1960, the organisation is driven by its mission to be the voice of retail shareholders through educating investors and standing up for shareholder rights.

ASA is funded entirely by membership subscription, donations, and sponsorship and independently represents its members through providing independent resources and proactive advocacy.
