R&CA THE VOICE FOR HOSPITALITY

For over a century, the Restaurant & Catering Association (R&CA) has been the voice of Australia’s vibrant foodservice industry.

Founded by restaurant and café owners, and driven by members, we’re here to empower and protect the industry we all love.

Part of our commitment is providing expert industrial relations advice, helping members navigate workplace regulations, award rates, and compliance requirements. We ensure businesses are equipped with the knowledge to manage their staff fairly and in line with the law, minimising risks and fostering positive working environments.

We’re on the ground, advocating at every level of government, sharing insights, and delivering real benefits back to our members.

Our commitment? To uphold a thriving, professional, and sustainable industry that’s recognised for its excellence.
