The Astronomical Society of South Australia connects people with astronomy through meetings, observing nights, education, the ASSA Bulletin and member programs.

Help Support the ASSA & Astronomy in South Australia

ASSA relies on members volunteering a little of their time, experience and enthusiasm so the Society can keep supporting astronomy in South Australia.

Members can help through elected Council positions, appointed roles, special-interest groups, event support, outreach, observing facilities, publications and practical one-off tasks. Every contribution helps spread the workload and keeps the Society active.

Current Volunteer Opportunity
