AHA NSW represents the interests of hoteliers and licensees – from small individual operated hotels and bars to large multi-hotel groups – right across metropolitan and country areas of NSW.

Members have access to a range of services available from AHA NSW head office in Macquarie Street, Sydney or from the membership liaison team who service and support all members across NSW.

Membership liaison officers conduct on-site visits of member venues providing industry briefings and are also on call 24/7 to assist members with day-to-day enquiries.

The range of other services membership provides are specifically tailored to operational business needs and include:
