The National Vending Association (NVA),
formerly known as the Australian Automatic Vending Association (AAVA),
was set up to promote the interests of the Australian vending industry.
To
achieve vending excellence through support and education.
NVA's objectives
The National Vending
Association was set up 30 years ago. Its objective is to provide advice
and assistance to its members and prospective vendors. Members receive
education and support so that they are better equipped to maximise
returns from their vending services.
The AAVA, now known as the National Vending Association (NVA), speaks
on behalf of the vending industry and represents vending operators who
only have a few machines through to those operating several
hundred.
The NVA strongly believes that whenever decisions are made, or new
policies devised, which may affect the vending industry, its members
need to be made aware. NVA makes every effort to influence
decision-making.
NVA has been successful in lobbying both State and Federal Governments
with respect to legislation affecting the vending industry. These
channels have been beneficial for both NVA members and the vending
industry as a whole. Now that NVA has gone national, its voice and
thus, outcomes, will be even greater.
Furthermore, NVA will continue to work towards unified plug and play
standards for the vending industry. The association will also serve as
a resource centre on vending technologies and innovation.
