Getting Started on Your Application
To help you with your application, download the Accreditation Criteria, Preparation Checklist and Accreditation Workbook (links below). These will help you understand the elements of the accreditation program and how you can gather the necessary evidence to comply with the application requirements.

Caravan/Holiday Park Accreditation Criteria Standard Checklist
You will need to provide documentation as evidence that you comply with the accreditation criteria. Should you require assistance with business templates to get a process documented, Caravan Industry Association of Australia may be able to assist with this process.
Getting Organised
Having an organised approach to accreditation will be a big help. The best way to get started is to establish a file to hold all of the required documentation. This file will be the framework for the program application and may be requested by the assessor visiting your caravan holiday park.
This is an opportunity for you to pull your team together and lift their performance. Your staff may have good suggestions on how best to implement the program’s requirements, so give them a chance to have their say and gain ownership of the process.
The next thing to do is a gap analysis – working out where you comply with the requirements and where further effort is needed to reach compliance standard. Again, involve your team in assessing current standards against the requirements.
Depending on the size of your caravan holiday park, consider establishing a project team with the task of meeting regularly to review progress and keep all others informed on what is happening.
