Australian Camps Association Releases New Three-Year Strategic Plan

I am pleased to present the 2025 – 2027 Strategic Plan (see attached) for the Australian Camps Association (ACA) which was recently adopted by the ACA Board. This Plan will guide both the Board and Staff over the next three years on the future direction of ACA.

The development of this Strategic Plan has been a genuine collaboration of ACA Members, Board and Staff and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the development of the Plan through the consultation process. Your valuable feedback has provided us with a clear direction to provide the highest level of support to our members.

Following the comprehensive consultation process, and as part of our refreshed Strategic Plan, we are proud to introduce the updated vision and purpose statements – shaping the future of the Australian Camps Association:
