Abstract

The Australia and New Zealand Association of Leisure Studies (ANZALS) was established in 1991 with the overall aim to develop leisure research and scholarship. Over the last 25 years ANZALS has regularly delivered a biennial conference, produced a refereed journal and shared information with its members and kindred associations. This article provides information about ANZALS history and explains how it is addressing its objectives. A key feature of ANZALS’s success is the commitment and contributions of its voluntary Board and general membership. Challenges that ANZALS needs to address in the future include more effective administration, better engagement in public policy debates and establishment of special interest groups. Despite these challenges ANZALS is successfully addressing its aim and is in a good position to continue to develop leisure studies in Australia and New Zealand.
