ASTRA - Australia & New Zealand Short Term Rental Association

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.

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.

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.

With 7 TidyHQ features in active use, ASTRA - Australia & New Zealand runs their entire operation from one platform.
