The N.S.W. Branch of the The Order of Australia Association, a subsidiary of The Order of Australia National Association, began meeting in 1978 and was officially formed on 22 July 1980. Its members are recipients of Order of Australia awards.

Since its founding, over 70 members have joined the Branch and have represented it in an official capacity by attending investitures, travelling to regional functions and serving the National Association Committee. In 1988, the branch erected a flagpole at Darling Harbour for the 1988 Bi-centenary. In the same year, it contributed to the erection of the statue of Queen Elizabeth II for the new Parliament House in Canberra.
