New Australian Children’s Activities Association sets out to unify and represent sector

Aiming to bring to together and represent the interests of children’s activity providers across the nation, the new Australian Children’s Activities Association (ACAA) has been formed.

Co-founded by Elise Easdown, founder and owner of Whats On 4 Kids in Australia and swim school and water safety advocate Ross Gage, ACAA is looking to provide leadership through education and advocacy while bringing together the broad and diverse children’s activities providers in Australia into one community.

Easdown’s motivation for creating the new Association game from seeing Whats On 4 Kids’ advertisers - children’s activity providers - not having any where to go for advice and development - both professionally and business-wise.

With the Coronavirus pandemic bringing matters to a head, she connected with Ross Gage, who has a rich history in conceptualising, establishing, developing and operating industry associations.

With Easdown and Gage as co-founders and Directors, the ACAA is the outcome.

With ACAA just completed a highly successful soft launch, with eight renowned providers backing the Association.

ACAA Membership will be taken from January 2021, with its first major event set to be the Australian Children’s Activities Symposium 2021, to be held on-line during February.
