The Australasian Speech Science and Technology Association (ASSTA) is a scientific association which aims to advance the understanding of speech science and its application to speech technology in a way that is appropriate for Australia and New Zealand. In order to fulfil these aims the Association seeks to provide significant exchange between those actively involved in speech science and technology research and practice, between this multidisciplinary body of professionals and the community in general as well as other national and international bodies having related aims. The Association regularly updates its constitution to reflect its evolving needs and is incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory as a non-profit scientific association with specific objectives designed to promote its aims.
ASSTA maintains a number of guidelines relating to its activities and consititution. Members should refer to these when carrying out any activities on behalf of the Association.
