What Are the Essential Benefits of AADA Membership?

AADA membership is an investment that delivers tangible returns through Advocacy, Information, and Community.

1. Unrivalled Advocacy and Representation

The AADA is your shield and sword in political and regulatory battles.

Government Influence: The AADA lobbies federal and state governments on crucial issues, from franchise legislation and taxation to consumer law and environmental policy, ensuring regulatory changes support, rather than hinder, your business.

Manufacturer Relations: It represents dealer interests in negotiations and discussions with vehicle manufacturers, working to improve fairness and sustainability in the dealer-manufacturer relationship.

Policy Shaping: Members directly contribute to the formation of industry policy, giving you a seat at the table on decisions that affect your bottom line.

2. Exclusive Industry Intelligence and Information

In a fast-changing industry, staying ahead requires the best information.

Regulatory Updates: Receive timely, clear analysis of new legislation, court rulings, and regulatory requirements before they impact your operations.

Dealer Performance Data: Access to exclusive benchmark surveys and market reports that provide critical insight into industry trends, helping you compare your performance against peers.

Expert Resources: Gain access to advice and resources specifically tailored to the unique challenges faced by franchised dealers.

3. Networking, Education, and Events

Connect with peers and learn from the best in the business.

National Convention & Expo: Receive preferential rates and access to Australia’s premier event for new car and truck dealers, featuring world-class speakers, actionable business advice, and the latest products and services.

Member-Only Forums: Attend webinars, state-based meetings, and specialist forums designed to foster peer-to-peer discussions on best practices, operational efficiency, and emerging technology.

Don’t Navigate the Automotive World Alone

The cost of standing alone is too high. Regulatory change, shifts in manufacturer agreements, and new economic pressures can quickly erode profit margins. AADA membership is a proactive step to mitigate these risks and position your dealership for sustained success.

By joining the AADA, you are actively investing in the longevity, prosperity, and advocacy of the entire franchised dealer network.
