About Professional Historians Australia

Professional Historians Australia (PHA) represents over 500 professionally accredited historians across all Australian states and territories. PHA and its state and territory associations are committed to advocating historical perspectives in public debates concerning interpretations of history and the keeping of documentary, environmental and other historical records. We are the peak body that represents six state and territory bodies of the professional historians association: PHA (Vic & Tas), PHA (NSW & ACT), PHA (QLD), PHA (NT), PHA (WA) and PHA (SA). We advocate on behalf of historians, maintain and encourage adherence to professional standards and ethics among historians, provide professional development and networking opportunities, and liaise with businesses, organisations, communities and all levels of government who seek the work of professional historians. Our accredited historians are academically qualified to bring historical knowledge, objectivity, and strong research and writing skills to history projects. Under the auspices of Professional Historians Australia, state and territory associations admit members in accordance with nationally recognised accreditation criteria and standards.
