Become a member
The Self Storage Association of Australasia is a group of self storage facility
owners, managers and suppliers interested in fostering the development of the
self storage industry on a sound ethical and professional basis.
Membership has become an asset assisting the growth and profitability of members'
businesses. Members are able to pool their resources to increase public awareness,
enhance their image and stimulate overall demand for the industry.
SSAA members keep abreast of current industry activities and events through
a regular journal, annual convention, public communications, seminars, training
and informative materials for self storage owners, operators, business managers
and suppliers.
MEMBERSHIP ENTITLES YOU TO…
Standard (and Managed) Self Storage Agreement and Manual of Advice
and Procedures
A Standard Self Storage Agreement has been drafted by the Association's legal
advisers to assist in protecting operators from liability in relation to customers.
It is regularly reviewed in the light of experiences. This Agreement is made
available to members for their protection and to increase the credibility of
the industry. The manual supports the agreement and provides guidelines for
industry "best practice". The managed self storage agreement is for
those times when you need to “keep the keys” of a storers unit and
protects you from the various statutes that govern this type of relationship.
Benchmarking
A totally independent academic institution conducts a regular quantitative assessment
to enable participants to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to establish
industry bench marks against which to measure performance. For the fisrt time
in 2006 there will also be a comprehensive demand study taken of the industry
and what drives its customers to choose a storage solution.
Annual Convention & Trade Show
This is the premier event for the industry and is held at various
locations around Australia and New Zealand. It allows members to hear from relevant
industry and non-industry speakers, and talk with local and overseas suppliers
about the latest ideas, products and services for the self-storage industry.
