ASTRA - Australia & New Zealand Short Term Rental Association
“The peak body representing short-term rental accommodation owners, managers, and platforms across Australia and New Zealand.”
Executive Officer, Executive Director
The organisation
ASTRA is the peak industry body for short-term rental accommodation across Australia and New Zealand, representing approximately 225,000 properties. Members include individual property owners, professional property managers, and software platforms. ASTRA advocates for balanced, evidence-based regulation and runs the annual "Here to Stay" conference.
The challenge
Fifty-four membership levels reflect a tiered structure from individual hosts to enterprise platform memberships. Regulatory battles run across multiple states and both countries simultaneously. Financial reporting through Xero tracks membership revenue, conference income, and advocacy funding.
How TidyHQ helped
TidyHQ has been ASTRA's platform since 2017 — over eight years. The 54 membership levels process through automated renewals. Xero keeps financial reporting clean. Mailchimp powers regulatory updates and member communications. Zoom connects committee meetings across both countries. The events module manages the annual conference. The shop processes registrations.
The outcome
With 7 TidyHQ features in active use, ASTRA - Australia & New Zealand runs their entire operation from one platform.
- 8+ — years running on TidyHQ
- 54 — membership levels spanning hosts to enterprise platforms
- 225,000 — properties represented by the industry body
From their public website to membership renewals to event management, ASTRA - Australia & New Zealand handles it all from one dashboard. New committee members inherit a working system, not a collection of logins and spreadsheets.
