Camp & Adventure Accreditation

Camp & Adventure Accreditation

The Camp and Adventure Accreditation program is designed to ensure that residential camps, outdoor experiences, and adventure activities can be conducted in a manner where the safety of participants and staff is assured. This means the buildings are appropriate and that proper activity equipment is provided and used in a safe manner. 

This program ensures there are clear procedures for supervising campers, administering bookings, and proper planning has been done to manage emergencies should they arise. 

The variety of residential camps and outdoor experiences ensures that different groups – large or small, children or adult, school, special interest, community – can enjoy diverse experiences. The program recognises this diversity and ensures that regardless of the type of experience your safety has been considered as paramount. 

Why should I be Camp & Adventure Accredited?

Camp & Adventure Accreditation is an additional module of the Quality Tourism Framework, and businesses must first be Quality Tourism Accredited.

Businesses must then demonstrate their commitment to conducting camping and outdoor experiences in a safe manner, and provide evidence of:

  • Quality 
  • Reliability 
  • Professionalism 
  • Compliance with both business and industry specific regulations 
  • Adherence to industry sector standards and codes of practice 
  • A high level of risk management procedures and training 
  • Thorough human resources management with staff behaviour policies in place 
  • Specialised Activity policies and procedures that meet industry standards 

                Camp & Adventure accreditation is available for $200 (excl GST) per annum for Quality & Sustainable Tourism Accredited Businesses that provide camping, outdoor and/or adventure experiences.

                The Camp & Adventure Program forms part of the Quality Tourism Framework (QTF). The QTF is a business pathway to support the continuous growth and development of Australian tourism businesses.
