At the Australian Car Wash Association, we love car washing. Our Association exists to represent and help our Members and to ensure the car was industry flourishes. In summary:
The Australian Car Wash Association is the peak national body for the car wash industry in Australia. It enables strong industry representation to Government and Regulatory Authorities as well as providing an important role in enhancing the skills and knowledge of car wash business professionals through a range of research and best-practice guides, seminars and events.
We also love the Australian environment. We are committed to ensuring people understand how the world benefits by using a car wash when your car needs cleaning.
Simply put, when you wash your car at a commercial car wash, the pollutants and contaminated water are collected, cleaned and disposed of according to strict EPA Regulations. However, when you wash your car in your driveway or the street, the pollutants run into the stormwater drainage systems and flow completely untreated into the nearest river, creek or ocean.
ACWA also provides the car wash industry with several practical functions, including:
- Providing management, operational and marketing information to help current and potential car wash owners and operators.
- Providing a forum for suppliers and operators to meet with each other and for suppliers to promote their products and services to the owners and operators of car wash sites.
- Hosting the largest car wash convention and trade show in the Southern Hemisphere.
So, if you’re in the Car Wash Industry or thinking about investing in the industry, don’t be alone out there. Join the Association and reap the benefits as other members have:

I was a newcomer to the industry and needed to get up to speed quickly. The best way to gain this knowledge was to firstly join as a member and subsequently onto the Board.
