The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) has opened its Accreditation Renewal Portal for the 2026 accreditation year.

The move provides accredited travel businesses with early access to complete their renewal at a convenient time as they prepare for the New Year.

Accredited businesses remain fully accredited until March 31, 2026; however, completing the renewal process early helps ensure continuity of accreditation and reduces administrative workload during peak trading periods.

To complete the 2026 renewal, members will be asked to provide:

# FY25 externally prepared financial statements (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet)

# Current insurance certificates

Opening the portal ahead of the New Year creates an opportunity for businesses to maintain up-to-date compliance information while reinforcing the high standards that underpin ATIA’s accreditation programs, including the Australian Travel Accreditation Scheme (ATAS).

“Accreditation plays a vital role in supporting trust, professionalism and consumer confidence across Australia’s travel sector,” said Dean Long, ATIA CEO.

“By completing their 2026 renewal early, members can give themselves a smooth and uninterrupted start to the year ahead, ensuring their accreditation continues seamlessly and their business information remains accurate.

“Our goal is to make the process as accessible as possible for members while maintaining the checks and balances that ensure only the highest-quality operators remain accredited, and our team is here to support members throughout the process.”

ATIA encourages accredited members to log into the portal, confirm their business details, and upload all required documents as soon as practicable.
