ACCOMMODATION NEWS ONE STRONG VOICE FOR THE ACCOMMODATION INDUSTRY QHA REVIEW | 40 The amalgamation of AHA TAA (Tourism Association Australia) and AAoA (Accommodation Association of Australia) became effective from 1 July 2023. The new entity is named Accommodation Australia (AA) presenting one peak industry association representing the accommodation industry throughout Australia with a strong, united and effective voice to all levels of Government. The Fair Work Commission first considered and approved an application for a “community of interest” between the AAoA and AHA and agreed that the proposed new rules provide for fair representation of all accommodation members. Getting to this point has required the AHA to change its National Registered Organisation rules to create a National Accommodation Division (Accommodation Australia) to which any accommodation member of any State branch of the AHA (including QHA) will automatically become a member. The amalgamation will establish one powerful and unified national voice for the thousands of accommodation businesses within the tourism and accommodation industries throughout Australia by: • maximising their influence and lobbying strength with all levels of government; • placing the accommodation industry into a strong leadership position in relation to the tourism industry, which is a major contributor to the Australian economy; • it will eliminate any potential division and competition between two organisations in the accommodation industry; • bringing together senior and experienced personnel from each organisation to jointly serve the one cause in the interests of the combined membership; • giving members throughout the accommodation industry support on matters of common interest, through access to the resources of the AHA’s national and Branch offices (QHA); • combining the resources and capacity of both organisations to drive membership growth and organisational influence. AA mission statement We will be at the forefront to advocate, unite and influence for our members. We support them to make informed decisions and proactively capture opportunities that address accommodation industry challenges, delivering growth for all. AA vision statement To lead sustainable enduring growth for our members. AA purpose Influential advocate for a better future. QHA welcomes our new accommodation members As an accommodation member in Queensland, we look forward to engaging and supporting you both in person as we travel to members across the state or through direct phone contact assistance. This includes the provision of the following services: • Your dedicated Accommodation Membership Officer, Tom Fitzgerald, who focuses solely on our members in this part of the industry to act as your conduit to information and QHA services. • QHA Training Department that has an expanding list of training opportunities for your staff. The QHA RTO is owned and managed by the QHA, and can tailor training opportunities for your teams. Both accredited and non-accredited (think microcredentialling type courses) are offered. • Employment Relations Advisors are available to speak to all members by phone for free initially and has templated material for every stage of the employee relationship. If a matter requires Industrial Relations representation, our experienced team can also engage on a fee-for-service basis. With many years of industrial relations negotiations behind them, our team are experts in their field and are on hand for members. • Licensing advice and regulatory interpretation is key to all members that hold a licence for liquor, gaming or special facilities in Queensland. After servicing over a thousand members across Queensland for many years, there are few situations that we have not encountered. As a member of the QHA, this knowledge is now at your disposal with a phone call to our team.
