History edit
The journal was established in 1982 by the Australian Council on the Ageing (COTA) as the Australian Journal on Ageing.[1] In 1994, COTA formed a journal management committee which included representatives from the Australian Society of Geriatric Medicine and the Australian Association of Gerontology who were later joined by representatives from Aged & Community Services Australia (1998) and the Alzheimer's Association Australia.[1] The journal obtained its current name in 1998 to promote a broader regional focus.[1][2] In 2002, Blackwell Publishing (later Blackwell-Wiley) became a partner with COTA in publishing the journal and in 2004 were appointed the professional publishers of the journal.[1] In 2007, ownership of the journal was transferred to AJA Inc, with a management committee consisting of representatives from COTA, the Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine, the Australian Association of Gerontology, and Aged and Community Services Australia.[1]
