Have Your Say in the 2025 ATAS Charter Review
Your Voice. Your Industry. Your Impact.
Have your voice in the association by recommending changes to the ATAS Charter that will strengthen the scheme and ensure ATAS remains relevant, credible, and valuable to our industry and to consumers.
Whether you are an accredited business, a member of the travel industry, consumer advocate or a sector partner - we want to hear from you.
Why get involved?
The last review in 2022 proved how powerful your voice can be. A number of critical reforms were made following the submissions received including:
- Mandatory client accounts to better protect consumer funds
- A requirement of externally prepared financial statements, lifting financial standards
- A new advisory committee to improve industry representation
- Governance and transparency enhancements to build greater public trust
These reforms now form the foundation of a stronger, more accountable accreditation program - because people like you spoke!
