History of the Institute

AIM was formed over 60 years ago as part of a national vision to assist managers to secure their future in the ever changing business environment.

On 26 July 1950, 52 businessmen met in Brisbane to lay the foundations for the Queensland branch of the Australian Institute of Management. Originally located in Eagle Street, AIM Queensland took up residence in its current premises at Spring Hill in 1964.

AIM's presence spread throughout the state in the late 1950s and early 1960s with regional committees set up in Maryborough, Mackay, Townsville, Toowoomba and Rockhampton. The Northern Territory branch was established in Darwin in the mid-1970s.
