The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) has refreshed its Accreditation Advisory Committee (AAC) with the appointment of four new members.
Stephen Brady (pictured), Helloworld Travel’s group general manager cruise, has been welcomed aboard the committee for a two-year term.
Joining him are Rebecca Day, Stuba’s regional head of sales; Kylee Ellerton, owner/director of Frank Ford Travel; and Judy Tanner, Aurora Travel Services managing director.
The new additions will work alongside Scott Darlow, Chad Carey, and Gina Norman, who have been reappointed for a second term. Meanwhile, Debra Fox and Steve Hui have departed.
“The AAC is the primary vehicle for ensuring ATIA accreditation remains the most representative and robust scheme in Australia,” said AAC chair David Walker.
“I want to thank our outgoing members for their incredible service and welcome our new appointees.
“Their willingness to step forward and volunteer their expertise ensures our accreditation remains fit-for-purpose for businesses of all sizes, from independent agencies to major corporate players.”
“From advising on solvency standards to endorsing landmark changes to the complaints resolution process, this committee ensures ATAS remains an independent, sector-informed forum for resolving claims.”
With three meetings scheduled for 2026, the committee will help ensure accreditation remains fit-for-purpose in a rapidly evolving market.
