The Accommodation Division, as part of the broader AHA (NSW), specifically represents the interests of accommodation hotels, motels and resorts.  From small owner-operated properties through to large multinational companies, accommodation properties from around the State are active members of the AHA (NSW) Accommodation Division.

 

Services offered by AHA (NSW) are only available to financial members of the organisation.

 

All of these membership benefits give Managers more time to concentrate on other important issues, such as maintaining the high standard of service and facilities the public have come to expect.

 

Industrial Relations Advice and Advocacy:

AHA (NSW) offers information, advice and representation on behalf of individual members or the industry as a whole, in this every changing area. The AHA can provide advice on a range of issues from wages and awards, contracts, training, counselling, termination procedures, health and safety and workers compensation issues, to advice on enterprise bargaining, workplace agreements and other employment initiatives to assist with recruiting and retaining quality staff.

 

The Industry’s Voice to Government:

The Accommodation Division plays an important role in representing this State’s accommodation industry to Government, the public and the media.  AHA (NSW) maintains close relationships with Members of Parliament and key Government Departments, and monitors Parliamentary proceedings and makes submissions to both State and Federal Governments to change, oppose or support legislation specific to the accommodation industry. AHA (NSW) represents the hotel industry on the many boards and committees in the tourism and hospitality area.
