From 1 July 2025, our accreditation team will introduce updates to the assessment process under the Caravan Holiday Park Accreditation Program.

Below is a summary of the upcoming changes and how future assessments will be conducted with park operators:

What’s changing?

Annual Renewal Declarations

Digitalisation of the annual declaration form.

Currently:

• A PDF declaration is attached to the accreditation renewal invoice when sent via email and completed, scanned and emailed back to accreditation team.

New process:

• An online declaration form will be included in the accreditation renewal letter sent via email to park operators to be completed and submitted electronically.  No more printing, scanning and emailing declarations!

On-site Assessment Frequency

The time period between an assessor conducting an on-site assessment with park operators is changing from:

• Onsite visits every three (3) years, to
• Onsite visits every five (5) years

What’s new?

Self-assessments

Park operators will be required to conduct two (2) self-assessments within the five-year (5) assessment cycle. 

These assessments will be on a digital form with the ability to upload evidence. They will focus on risk management and HR management. The process will be condensed to minimise park operators’ time conducting the self-assessments.

In summary

These changes are designed to help accredited caravan holiday parks improve the way they run their businesses and ensure continued compliance to the accreditation criteria.
