What We Do
PROVIDING ADVOCACY & EDUCATION FOR THE INDUSTRY
How will we do this?
This will be achieved through a consolidated voice that brings confidence, knowledge and leadership to members, industry and regulators.
We make submissions on a variety of policy issues to ensure our members’ concerns are heard by key influencers at any level.

We provide a linkage between various sectors within the industry.
