On 3 September 2004, the S1000D Australian Specification Maintenance Group (ASMG) was formed at RAAF Williams, Laverton, Victoria by representatives of Defence and Industry.

The ASMG is the Australian body created to organise and manage the maintenance of the S1000D Specification in Australia. It is a major source of information on S1000D and its application to technical information as well as being the interface between Australia and the other international organisations responsible for S1000D.
