HMA

HMA Vic Inc and HMA SA Inc were formed that year, with HMA Qld Inc following shortly after. Initially, HMA Vic represented media personnel in Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales. In 2002, the NSW group decided to form their own state association and HMA NSW Inc was born. In October 2004, HMAA was established as the national ‘umbrella' organisation to represent members and their state organisations at a national level.
