It is important to ensure the benefits of climbing and related activities are on the political agenda and recognised at the policy level. The following strategies are currently open for consultation. The ACAV is preparing submissions for each of these and are seeking interested volunteers with experience in submission writing to assist. Please get in touch via acav@climb.org.au.

ACAV has received the first of two Freedom of Information (FOI) requests that were submitted earlier this year. 

ACAV pursued the FOI avenue due to the lack of information available about the rationale for the wide sweeping rock climbing bans across the Grampians National Park. There were efforts to obtain information directly from Parks Victoria however responses were not forthcoming.  

NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee) week commences on Monday 7 July, 2019.

Celebrations will be held across Australia to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples.
