Membership is not open to individuals at this point in time but your organisation or company is welcome - as a full member if you provide care or accommodation services or an associate if you don't. Members of the Association receive a broad range of services and benefits derived from the combined strength of this strong lobbying and representational body.

Industry Supporters Program

ACS SA&NT developed an Industry Supporters Program in response to numerous requests from representatives with a commercial interest in Aged Care. Their wish was to be able to work in partnership with members of the Association in order to share knowledge of services and products, as well as being offered the opportunity to network with staff of facilities.

Organisations supplying services or equipment to villages, care facilities and community services are also welcome to become Industry Supporters.
