Membership

AHA NSW represents the interests of hoteliers and licensees – from small individually 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 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.

Legal and Industrial Affairs

The AHA NSW’s Legal and Industrial Affairs team is a key component in the Association’s delivery of services to members and upkeep of the broader hospitality industry.

The primary function of the team is to provide strategic advice and representation to the Association and its members on a range of legal and industrial matters including employment law and industrial relations; liquor licensing; gaming; compliance and commercial contracts.

HTA Legal

Legal services are provided to AHA NSW members through HTA Legal, a legal practice established, owned and operated by the Association for the benefit of its members. Services include unfair dismissal, general protections claims, underpayment claims, Fair Work Ombudsman investigations, enterprise agreements and general discrimination claims.

Liquor and Policing

The Liquor and Policing Department provides advice and support to members interacting with NSW Police, Liquor and Gaming NSW, Local Government and other Government agencies. This includes liquor licensing issues and potential breaches of liquor laws as well as armed holdups and other criminal behaviour occurring in and around licensed premises.

Member Portal

Member only portal access which contains resources such as fact sheets, awards, wage rates and template contracts, letters, best practice guides and policies. Every member has their own dedicated, confidential portal of resources.

Entain Partnership

The AHA NSW and Entain have partnered to promote Ladbrokes & Neds digital non-retail wagering inside hotels. A key feature of our partnership is that Entain is committed to providing significant support to every AHA NSW member hotel which signs a sponsorship agreement.

The AHA NSW remains committed to supporting Tabcorp’s retail wagering in NSW hotels. Tabcorp have an exclusive retail licence in NSW and cash betting through PubTABs is still extremely important to NSW hotels.
