The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) is an Australian motoring organisation that lobbies for road users across Australia. This includes advocating for the safe maintenance of land transport networks and increasing transport affordability. It was established in 1924.

International membership

The AAA is a member of the Alliance Internationale de Tourisme (AIT) and the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

Member organisations

Most Australian state motor organisations are members of the AAA:

Royal Automobile Club of Australia
NRMA, New South Wales and ACT
Royal Automobile Club of Victoria
Royal Automobile Club of Queensland
Royal Automobile Association of South Australia
Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia
Royal Automobile Club of Tasmania
Automobile Association of the Northern Territory Annual conferences were conducted in each state over time.

Motor sport

In 1926, the AAA sought authority to administer motor sport in Australia, which was subsequently obtained via the Royal Automobile Club.

Following a decision to focus on its primary role, the association relinquished this authority to the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport, formed in 1953.
