About us
Who we are
The Victorian Astrologers Association connects astrologers across Victoria and Tasmania through a shared commitment to learning, practice and community.
Led by a volunteer committee, the VAA brings together students, professionals and lifelong learners to explore astrology in thoughtful, practical and personally meaningful ways.
Aligned with the Federation of Australian Astrologers (FAA), the Association supports ongoing study, ethical practice and connection through lectures, workshops, guest speakers, learning pathways and a growing library of recordings and resources.
Members can also access the FAA exam pathway toward the internationally recognised FAA Diploma of Astrology.
