What is the New South Wales Short Stay Association?
The New South Wales Short Stay Association (NSWSSA) is a non-profit organization that represents the interests of owners, managers, and service providers in the short-term rental accommodation sector within New South Wales. The association advocates for fair and effective regulations at state and local government levels.
It also aims to foster a professional and sustainable industry by providing members with resources, networking opportunities, and information on best practices and compliance.

How it works
NSWSSA operates as a member-based association funded by membership fees. It is governed by an elected committee of industry professionals who volunteer their time.
The association represents its members' interests by engaging in dialogue with government bodies, making formal submissions on proposed legislation, and participating in public consultations. It disseminates critical information regarding regulations, such as the NSW Code of Conduct and property registration, to its members through newsletters, webinars, and exclusive online resources.
Regular meetings and events also provide a platform for members to network and share knowledge.
Why it matters
For property owners and managers in New South Wales, the NSWSSA provides a crucial collective voice in a complex and evolving regulatory landscape. It helps operators stay informed about their legal obligations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and potential penalties.
Membership in the association signals a commitment to professionalism and ethical operation, which can enhance a host's reputation with guests, neighbors, and local authorities. By working towards sustainable industry practices, the association helps protect the long-term viability of short-term rentals as a business.
Examples
- A property management company in Sydney utilizes NSWSSA's educational resources to train its staff on the mandatory NSW Code of Conduct for guest management.
- A vacation rental owner in Byron Bay joins the NSWSSA to receive timely updates and guidance on new local council regulations limiting the number of rental days per year.
- The leadership of the NSWSSA meets with state Members of Parliament to provide industry feedback on the effectiveness of the statewide short-term rental property register.
- A group of hosts in the Hunter Valley uses the association's member forum to discuss best practices for creating a positive impact on the local community.
