You are invited to attend the third Annual Community Transport Forum, to be held
at the Lakes Resort Hotel on Wednesday 14th June 2017, hosted by the South
Australian Community Transport Association (sacta).
sacta is the peak body representing Community Transport in SA & NT, and is also
a member of the Australian Community Transport Association. Membership is
open to anyone working in the field of, or with an interest in, Community Transport:
we currently have over 50 members from SA and NT, representing a wide range
of community organisations and services.
Our belief is that “Community Transport builds, connects and underpins
communities” and we are here to support our members in many ways.
The objects of the South Australian Community Transport Association are:
1. To represent community transport providers within the State of South
Australia and the Northern Territory and to advocate and/or make
representations on behalf of its members to the Government Sector, NonGovernment Sector, Private Sector and all other relevant organisations
and/or persons.
2. To facilitate information sharing and improve communication between
community transport organisations and services within South Australia and
Northern Territory.
3. To develop policy, procedure and standards that promote best practice
in community transport.
4. To represent its membership on the board of ACTA (Australian Community
Transport Association) and/or international forums related to these
objects.
5. To expand membership into the Northern Territory and to develop
relationships with key stakeholders to facilitate this aim.
The theme for this year’s forum is ‘The State of the Sector’ which we believe to be very relevant given
the many changes happening at both the State and Federal levels. We have invited relevant State
& Shadow Ministers to attend the forum, and to present an overview of their government’s policy
agenda for the community transport sector in SA, leading into the 2018 State Election, with
consideration to the effects on community transport with the national NDIS and CHSP reform
agendas.
The forum will also provide you with an opportunity to:
 attend a Statewide (SA &NT) forum with a clear, specific focus on Community Transport
 build links and extend your networks with key industry people
 learn about new industry initiatives by visiting our Sponsors trading tables
Please complete and return the attached registration form (page 5) to register your attendance.
We would appreciate it if you could distribute this invitation to others that may also be interested in
attending (attendance is open to anyone with an interest in Community Transport).
We look forward to seeing you on the 14th June 2017.
Yours sincerely,
Craig Frost
Chair, SActa Management Committee
