[i] Data on this page has been sourced from Germov, J. and McGee, T.R. (eds) Histories of Australian Sociology Melbourne: Melbourne University Press. Note that until 1997, the presidential term was usually one year, and often overlapped years due to the different dates of the Conference and AGM. This makes it difficult to determine the actual length of the presidency, particularly for pre-1980 presidential terms.

[ii] John Germov was Acting President from February to December 2002.

[iii] Stephen Crook resigned due to illness in February 2002.

[iv] Two-year executive terms began in 1997–1998.

[v] In 1988, TASA was formed. It was incorporated in 1989.

[vi] Foundation president of SAANZ.
