ADVERTISING FEATURE
THE FAMOUS ORANGE SIGN
Go on, admit it: you've seen the VACC sign.
But what does it mean?
Some people think the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce is a regulator or government department.
I understand.
Given its branding has been around for 106 years, many people assume the association has more of a policing role in the industry.
So, let's set the record straight.
VACC is an employer association dedicated to advocating for the best policy position for the automotive industry. This includes dealerships, independent mechanics, panel beaters and many specialist operations, like tyre retailing and engine reconditioning.
VACC spends a lot of time talking to government and preparing policy documents that help inform governments and regulators about the industry and the potential e?ects of any proposed policies.
A large part of the industry comprises small businesses, so it doesn't take much for government intervention to have a profound impact on 'mum and dad' operations.
Large businesses experience it, too.
It's VACC's job, on behalf of its 5000 business members, to ensure any policy movements have balance and don't negatively impact the industry.
What does this have to do with motorists?
Many things VACC achieves for its members have a positive knockon e?ect for consumers: things like being able to pay vehicle registration fees in instalments.
VACC is the voice of the automotive industry, ensuring politicians and regulators hear business owners' concerns.
While we live in a world of individualism, a collective voice is much stronger when it's time to get something done.
