Australian Hotels Association (AHA) Newcastle Hunter Community

COMMUNITY

Spanning all the way from Catherine Hill Bay to the Upper Hunter, the AHA Newcastle Hunter Sub-Branch is the largest in NSW and consists of more than 160 members.

It may be common knowledge our hoteliers are some of the best when it comes to hospitality, great food and serving up a cold one, but there's something else they are pretty good at too - supporting their local communities.

Did you know that in 2017, our hoteliers together raised in excess of $126,000 for charitable organisations?

Some of our recipients included The Mark Hughes Foundation, Variety - The Children's Charity, HMRI, the Hunter Academy of Sport and that's just the tip of the iceberg!
