Technical Communication in Australia: A Report of Progress Towards Professional Recognition  

In 1987 Brockman visited Australia raising a number of issues he saw as critical for the successful progression and survival of Australia’s Technical Communication society, and the profession. Those comments pertain to technical communication as a profession, lack of academic programs in technical communication and a professional journal, need for authentication of members, development of a professional infrastructure, the fragmented nature of the ASTC. This paper reports on how the profession in Australia is progressing in these issues and how we compare with the STC.
