About ACCA

The Australasian Cemeteries & Crematoria Association (ACCA) is a non-profit professional organisation that exists to provide leadership, professional services and communication to the cemetery and crematorium industry. ACCA is financially supported by a strong membership from around Australia and overseas, with the Australian Members collectively representing over 85% of Australia’s annual burials and cremations.

ACCA seeks to explore and develop new areas of expertise within the cemetery and crematoria industry, and provides regular communication through a range of publications.

“ACCA News” is the eminent cemetery and crematoria publication in Australasia. This quarterly magazine focuses on industry specific issues including technical; environmental; professional development; cultural; and industrial relations’ topics. It is also a significant vehicle for industry networking and advertising of products and services.

In addition, an information “Communiqué” is issued to Members following each meeting of the Board.

As an industry body, ACCA promotes and facilitates the professional development of ACCA Members including the establishment of comprehensive codes of practice, guidelines, training materials and research projects.

ACCA also actively promotes the cemetery and crematoria industry to governments, related industries, other countries and the Australian public.

The Association holds an annual conference in the last quarter of each year, to bring together Members and suppliers for 4-5 days of guest speakers, professional development, workshops, trade exhibition and networking.
