Summary

The Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies (FASTS) was established in 1985. The Federation consists of societies representing the interests of Australia scientists and technologists.

From their Web site, January 2003: "The Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies represents the views of the workers in Australian science. FASTS aims to have a significant influence in the formulation of science and technology policy; and by improving the overall climate for research and development, to bring economic, environmental and social benefits to Australia."

Since 2011 the Federation has been known as Science and Technology Australia.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
