Memberships & Partners
We belong to a wide range of societies, organisations and entities that help us provide better and more specialised care to our customers.
Attendant Care Industry Association
The Attendant Care Industry Association (ACIA) Australia is the peak body for attendant care service providers operating across Australia. ACIA represents the non-government attendant care sector, including not-for-profit and private organisations. ACIA represents and supports service providers to deliver quality attendant care for the benefit of people with disability or those with complex or long-term care needs living in the community.
ACIA’s primary focus on quality assurance and workforce capacity building aims to ensure the delivery of high quality, low risk attendant care services. ACIA’s objectives support the implementation of federal and state government policies aimed at enabling people to actively participate in society, achieve their person-centred goals, remain in their own homes and avoid unnecessary residential care.
