 Initially called "The Australasian Doctor Who Fan Club", this, the nationwide club, is also the oldest and largest Doctor Who club in Australia, formed in 1976, but initially closely entwined with the SUSFA (see above).By 1979, with the visit of Tom Baker to promote the series for the ABC, Doctor Who fandom was increasingly separate from SUSFA and other university based clubs around the country.The visit by Baker also stimulated a greater level of fan activity in Melbourne and Brisbane with clubs forming there as well.
