New and improved: Tools to becoming an accredited caravan holiday park 

For caravan holiday parks looking to improve operational systems and demonstrate a commitment to industry best practice, there has never been a better time to become accredited.

Caravan Industry Association of Australia has recently overhauled the application process for its Caravan Holiday Park Accreditation Program, making it easier than ever for operators to access the tools they need to succeed.

What’s new?

New and improved workbook

The 2026 Caravan Holiday Park Accreditation Workbook has been refreshed to provide clearer guidance and practical support for park operators embarking on the accreditation journey.

More than just a checklist, the workbook explains the value behind each accreditation requirement and how adopting recognised industry standards can strengthen business operations, improve risk management and enhance the guest experience.

Operators will also benefit from guidance on the evidence required throughout the application process, helping remove uncertainty and making it easier to prepare a successful submission.

Simpler application process

The online accreditation application has also had an overhaul.

Designed with park operators in mind, the updated platform provides clearer instructions for each accreditation criterion and outlines exactly what supporting evidence is required. When used alongside the new workbook, the application process is more streamlined and user centric – creating a smoother pathway to accreditation. You can focus less on administration and more on implementing best-practice business systems within their park.

What’s coming?

In the coming weeks, Caravan Industry Association of Australia will release a revamped suite of business process and policy templates, further strengthening the extensive library of resources available to accredited parks and those going through the accreditation process.

These practical templates will help park operators develop, review and update key policies and procedures, reducing the time and effort required to maintain compliance and best-practice operations.

Why Accreditation Matters

Accreditation is more than a badge of recognition. It demonstrates a commitment to quality, professionalism and continuous improvement, while providing operators with a framework to build stronger, safer and more resilient businesses.

With a simplified application process, improved guidance materials and an expanding resource library, there has never been a better opportunity for caravan holiday parks to become accredited.
