Members of the Accommodation Association wrote an open letter the Prime Minister, Premiers and Chief Ministers

We write as the leaders of Australia’s tourism accommodation sector which has been devastated by COVID-19. As an industry prior to COVID-19 we directly contributed more than half of $47.5 billion tourism GDP and directly employed more than 113,000 Australians. While we have done everything, we can to limit the impact on our teams, our overall workforce has been reduced by close to half to 56,000 and further reduction may need to occur if JobKeeper and the Rental Mandatory Code of Conduct is not extended until March 2021
