Adult Learning Australia (formerly AAACE) is a national association of many organisations and individuals involved with adult and community education in Australia and has local branches in each State and Territory. ALA is consulted by the Australian Government and is a member of International Council for Adult Education, Asian-South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education, International Community Education Association.

ALA has been appointed by the ASPBAE as its lead agency for a new program called OPAL - Older People and Adult Learning, which has ramifications for the UN Year of Older Persons in 1999. Their first objective - now underway - is a survey to identify adult education providers in the region who already have programs for the older members of their communities, those who may be interested in doing something of that nature in the future and those who, so far, have not ventured into that area.

Early in 1999, OPAL will produce a directory of providers which will be circulated to those responding to the survey, it has plans for a newsletter and, if funding is available, it hopes to hold regional seminars and workshops where participants can exchange information and discuss common issues.
