Restaurant
& Catering

The Restaurant & Catering Association acts as the voice of the food service industry on all matters important to business operators in its dealings with governments, media, unions, other business sectors, non-government entities and consumers.

The combined strength of the hundreds of businesses that comprise the membership together with the industry-specific expertise at its disposal ensures an effective lobbying and advocacy voice in Parliament or local council with regard to the drafting and subsequent enforcement of legislation.

The Association plays a vital role in conducting industry consultation, issues research and surveys, policy formulation, devising and executing industry strategy, provision of legislative advice and updates to members, PR and media management and direct representation to government.

The responsibility of overseeing industry representation is that of the Executive Director of Restaurant & Catering WA, with every member business entitled to have direct input on key issues of concern, prior to the board of the association having final approval of policy positions based on the majority of member feedback.
