History of AATE

AATE was formed, on the initiative of Peter B. McDonald, past President of the South Australian English Teachers Association, at a meeting in September 1964. Representatives from New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria attended this first meeting. Queensland and the Northern Territory joined the Association a few years later.^[9]
