1966 - 1992
In December 1965, representatives from 25 members of the Association of Catholic Co-operative Credit Societies approved a board recommendation "to work towards the formation of a state association open to all credit societies that are prepared to adopt accepted co-operative principles, including education". That begun the work that led to the registration of the Victorian Credit Co-operative Association (VCCA) in 1966.

From this point the VCCA became the main peak body for credit unions in Victoria (often known as credit co-operatives or credit societies) until the establishment of Cuscal and the disestablishment of state peak bodies in 1992. The credit union movement spread rapidly in the early years of the association and by 1980 there were 210 credit unions in Victoria (almost one third of the credit unions in Australia).

Our large collection of VCCA holdings include annual reports, meeting minutes, governance documents, correspondence, year books, magazines, newsletters, discussion papers, photographs, videos and oral history recordings.
