The Australasian Convenience And Petroleum Marketers Association
The Australasian Convenience And Petroleum Marketers Association (ACAMPA) is a national employer organisation registered under the Workplace Relations Act 1996, representing the interests of its members with the oil companies, governments, various regulatory authorities, the unions and the media.
ACAPMA is a not-for-profit organisation whose main aim is to assist in maintaining the on-going viability of the wholesale distribution and convenience retailing of petroleum and non-petroleum products for its members.
ACAPMA (formerly know as Australian Petroleum Agents and Distributors Association) was formed as a national body in 1976, following the amalgamation of individual state agent / distributor organisations.
The ACAPMA - OAMPS relationship was established in 1977, when members were seeking a more equitable insurance product. The ACAPMA members were disillusioned by the traditional insurers who were fostering the misconception that fuel –carrying vehicles were inherently poor risks. The ACAPMA national board and two key entrepreneurial insurance men formed Oil Agents Mutual Provident Society (OAMPS). OAMPS is still ACAPMA’s key business partner.
As a national petroleum and convenience industry association, ACAPMA provides a service to all areas of regional petroleum distribution, fuel and convenience retailing.
ACAPMA provides services either directly or indirectly to distributors, resellers, retailers and cartage contractors, to fill the void created by the reduction in resources from the major suppliers.
It creates strategic business relationships to maximise the benefits their goods and services have on offer for our members.
ACAPMA is increasingly becoming the information repository for the petroleum and convenience industry. Members - either in distribution and/or retail, rely on our vast range of generic, essential, but non-competitive requirements. - " A one-stop-shop"
