Risk Management Accreditation
The Australian Amusement Leisure and Recreation Association’s industry best practice standards for the management and operation of businesses that provide amusement, leisure and recreation services to the Australian community.
This standard has been developed so that such businesses can at all times provide the best possible management, operation and duty of care to their clients, guests, visitors and staff.
The Australian Amusement Leisure and Recreation Association Incorporated (“AALARA”) believes that all persons and legal entities that operate businesses and work in providing amusement, leisure and recreation facilities and services must uphold and actively utilise best practice standards established by the industry for the industry in the day to day operation of their businesses so as to fully meet their responsibilities to their staff, guests and clients.
Such responsibilities will include meeting and exceeding the general expectation to provide an appropriate duty of care to all that enter, use, operate and manage the facilities offered for use.
AALARA as the Peak National Body representing operators in the amusement, leisure and recreation industries has, in March 2002, established and endorsed these best practice standards as being appropriate for, and considers that they should apply to, the operation of these industries in our modern society. AALARA has determined that such standards should be referred to from this point forward as Risk Management procedure.
In establishing these procedures as the best practice standards that should apply to the amusement, leisure and recreation industries in Australia, AALARA herein recognises that the management and operation of businesses and facilities that offer such services to the broader community must, of necessity be required to be conducted by utilising management models, policies and practices that are at all times underscored by sound risk management practices and which form the basis of a whole of business approach to ensuring the fulfillment of this charter.
