Who we are
The Australian Alpaca Association was incorporated as a not-for-profit association in 1990 when participants in the fledgling industry recognised the need for a national body of like-minded people to promote and grow the concept of alpaca as a viable and sustainable primary industry. In 2007 it became a Company Limited by Guarantee.
What we do
We aim to be the voice for the alpaca community as an organisation devoted to Australian alpaca farming and to provide opportunities for alpaca farmers across the nation to grow and develop the national herd.
