Eight keepers from Adelaide Zoo first formed the Australasian Society of Zoo Keeping ASZK in 1976. It was originally called the Australasian Society of Animal Management which was changed to the Australasian Society of Zoo Keepers in 1980 and finally renamed the Australasian Society of Zoo Keeping in 1991.The ASZK is primarily a professional organisation which seeks to promote the exchange of information on all aspects of wild animal husbandry, and in so doing add to the conservation of rare and endangered species. The Society achieves these objectives through the production of journals, newsletters and through a series of workshops and conferences which are held throughout the Australasian region.
