Our history

The original Canberra branch grew rapidly with the influx of Australia’s first generation of federal public servants with an idealistic sense of duty to the Australian people. The Canberra & Monaro branch has been again active since 2015, following on from the original ANA Branch formed in 1927 which lived until the mid 20th century. The new branch is once again flourishing, and has begun to march to cultural renewal, flowering as a community culture and organisation advocating for our own interests.
