The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) is urging its members to take part in the 2025 ATAS Charter Review, with just one week left to make submissions before the 1 July 2025 deadline.

The triennial review is a key opportunity for the industry to influence the future direction of ATIA’s accreditation framework—ensuring it remains practical, effective and representative of the travel sector as it evolves.

Led by respected legal consultant and former ACCC senior officer Michael Terceiro, the review covers the ATAS Charter, Code of Conduct, Solvency Definitions, and ACAC Terms of Reference. The findings will help shape final recommendations to be presented to the ATIA Board in July, with potential amendments announced later in the year.

The ATAS Charter and Code underpin the ATIA Accredited program, which remains the largest and most representative accreditation scheme for travel businesses in Australia. Member input plays a vital role in ensuring the program continues to reflect industry needs and supports confidence among consumers and regulators alike.

ATIA CEO Dean Long reinforced the importance of participation, noting, “This is your association and your accreditation framework—don’t miss the chance to shape its future.”

Submissions can be made through the ATIA website, and a simplified survey option is also available for those who prefer to provide quick feedback.
