The Association intends to constitute a Feedback Forum, comprised of representation from our members who are small to medium ARC providers. The already established Large Providers Group has been a useful platform for us to understand the challenges that our large provider members are facing, while also facilitating a space for knowledge-sharing. In a similar vein, we hope that the formation of a group of our small and medium providers members will help in creating a formal platform via which they can raise their issues and help strategize policy solutions.
The objective of forming such a Group is to provide a platform for interactive dialogue between the ACA and small to medium ARC providers to:
- Identify key policy and regulatory challenges that the small to medium providers face
- Broaden industry voices in advocacy efforts by ensuring that feedback from small to medium providers are included in our policy submissions, discussions and other advocacy efforts
- Facilitate dialogue and collaboration between members while promoting knowledge-sharing
- Develop policy recommendations that are feasible for the whole sector, inclusive of size, circumstance or geographical location
The group will be facilitated by ACA, ensuring that it remains a neutral and inclusive space for all participants.
