Industry Supporters Program

 

Linking business to aged care providers

ACS developed its Industry Supporter Program in response to numerous requests from representatives with a commercial interest in Aged Care. Industry Supporters are companies who wish to work in partnership with ACS members to share knowledge of services and products, and network with staff of member providers. ACS is the perfect means for this network as it provides its membership with the latest directions and trends, advice and management support in providing care to the elderly people of South Australia and the Northern Territory.


ACS Industry Supporters have the opportunity to present products and services to a targeted audience, many of whom are at the ‘point of purchase’ or developing their plans for future expansion or development.

Industry Supporter fees are $1000 per annum and invoiced upon receipt and approval of application form. The fee is charged per financial year and for those who join part way through a year a pro-rata rate to the closest three months is given.

 

The aged and community care sector is a rapidly expanding industry and ACS SA & NT Inc can help you get your message and products to this sector by providing your business with advertising & sponsorship opportunities which will assist you in reaching this burgeoning market.
