ALFAQ (Australian Leisure Facilities Association Queensland) has advised that it has re-established its Board with key industry leaders backing the peak body again becoming active in representing Queensland aquatic professionals.

Aiming to foster collaboration with members by connecting them through events and advocating for initiatives that elevate the industry's standards and performance, ALFAQ is challenging the industry in Queensland to come together and support a body that ultimately exists to support them.

Newly appointed ALFAQ President, Jay Clarke explained “we are building a framework in the post-COVID world that aims to endorse our industry peak bodies' policies and procedures and support members in understanding and implementing them.”
