Camping with Confidence

Australian Campsite and Outdoor Activity Provider Accreditation Program

Camping with Confidence' is a national accreditation program designed to ensure the camping or outdoor experience is able to be conducted in a manner where the safety of participants and staff is assured. This means the buildings are appropriate and that proper activity equipment is provided and used in a safe manner. It ensures there are clear procedures for supervising campers and administering bookings and proper planning has been done to manage emergencies should they arise.

The variety of campsites and outdoor experiences ensures that different groups - large or small, children or adult, school, special interest, community - can enjoy diverse experiences. Accreditation recognises the diversity and ensures that regardless of the type of experience your safety has been considered as paramount.

The Australian Camps Association is currently close to a merger of the Camping with Confidence Program with the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program (ATAP). In this merger, the Camping with Confidence accreditation program will become an add on module of ATAP called the Camps and Adventure Activity Provider Module.
