ASAM welcomes Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) as a Corporate Member.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) was established on 6 July 1995 as an independent statutory authority. Under section 8 of the, Civil Aviation Act 1988, CASA is a body corporate separate from the Commonwealth.

CASA’s primary function is to conduct the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australia and the operation of Australian aircraft overseas. It is also required to provide comprehensive safety education and training programmes, cooperate with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, and administer certain features of Part IVA of the Civil Aviation (Carriers’ Liability) Act 1959.

CASA’s web site is www.casa.gov.au.

The Journal of the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine [JASAM] is a refereed journal and is published on a half-yearly basis.
