Business Membership

Our Business Membership structure is designed to reflect the diversity of roles within our sector and create more pathways for people and organisations to connect within the aquatic and recreation industry.

The new model expands access and benefits for corporate and business members, ensuring that whether you’re on the pool deck, delivering aquatic & recreation programs, behind a desk, planning community facilities, supplying services, or operating at an organisational level, you can benefit from LIWA’s professional development, courses, advocacy, benchmarking, research, and resources.

The Business Membership is aimed at local governments, businesses, suppliers, government agencies, peak bodies, and non-government organisations, providing a flexible way for organisations of all sizes to engage with and benefit from the aquatic & recreation industry.
