Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Victoria

Established in 1961, the Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Victoria is the peak body of the pool and spa industry. Our mission is to represent both SPASA members and the broader swimming pool and spa industry to the general public, government and relevant statutory bodies. The Association strives to enhance its profile as a means of promoting the significant health and social value of pool and spa use. Our core goals are to ensure the viability of our members’ businesses and to promote the highest levels of professionalism, ethical behaviour and standards within the industry. Both pool and spa owners’, and members’ interests, are represented on many technical and government committees, including Standards Australia, the Victorian Swimming Pool & Spa Safety Committee and the Victorian Building Authority. Among many others, we liaise closely with the Planning & Water Ministers’ Offices, DSE, Lifesaving Victoria, Water Authorities, Builder Warranty & Liability insurers, WorkSafe, Kidsafe and the Department of Consumer Affairs – all of which shape legislation and establish standards of workplace practices, safety, energy and water use. To maintain the highest standards, SPASA conducts Industry Training programs, trade events and publishes member OHS training and resource materials. SPASA also promotes the important consumer-focused Water Neutral Pool Program. The association promotes pool and spa use to consumers in several ways, including annual consumer events and communications.
