The Guild was formed in 1992 by a committed group of Tarot practitioners and educators including Anne Shotter and Evelynne Joffe. The primary aim of the Guild is to raise public interest and awareness of the Tarot, to promote the study of the Tarot, to maintain ethical standards in the practice of reading Tarot via professional certification and to provide a network for further education and sharing information amongst members. In 1997 the Guild organised the first ever international Tarot conference in Melbourne. Guest presenters and workshop leaders included Rachel Pollack, Mary Greer, Ed Buryn and James Wanless from the United States, Caitlin Matthews from the UK, as well as local Taroistes, Anne Shotter, Evelynne Joffe, Matthew Favaloro and Paul Fenton-Smith. Recordings of sessions at that conference are available on CD from the Tarot Guild Shop. In 2005 Charles Geering from Sydney joined the committee as the first member outside Victoria. In 2007 Nicolette Neish from Brisbane and Tania Yorgey from Tasmania became the next committee members to hail from outside Victoria. Tarot Guild activities are held regularly in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, with occasional workshops or seminars in other centres.
The SA Writers' Centre is assisted by the South Australian Government through Arts SA, and the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory bodies.
