  • “Wheelhouse just signed up for our second year as an ASTRA supplier member. As an established STR software company in North America & increasingly Europe, it's been important for us to reach the STR property manager audience in ANZ from abroad, and ASTRA has helped us do it. From the webinars we've been able to host, to sponsoring their wonderful Here to Stay conference, our ASTRA membership has enabled Wheelhouse launch new GTM motions in this thriving and important region. The team that supports us have been great to work with and at this point our membership is non-negotiable as we increase brand awareness and expand our client base.”

  • "As an individual host managing three properties in beautiful Hepburn Springs, Central Victoria, I've found ASTRA to be an invaluable resource for our industry. Whether you're running a single listing, managing multiple properties like myself, or are a larger scale property management company, ASTRA provides the advocacy, education, and support that short stay hosts genuinely need. The association gives us a unified voice when dealing with regulatory challenges and keeps us informed about industry changes that affect our businesses. From policy updates to best practice guidance, ASTRA ensures that hosts of all sizes – from individual operators through to large property management companies – have access to the knowledge and representation we need to operate professionally and sustainably. ASTRA doesn't just represent us; it helps elevate the entire short stay industry by promoting high standards and fostering a community where hosts can learn from each other and grow their businesses with confidence."

    Geoff Gedge – Individual Host, Hepburn Springs, Victoria

  • "Being part of ASTRA has reinforced to us that the strength of our sector lies in the collective – not just in individual businesses. The short-term rental ecosystem is broad and interdependent: from single hosts to professional property managers, service providers, technology partners, distributors, and booking platforms. Every part of that ecosystem contributes to the guest and owner experience, and every part benefits from strong representation, clear advocacy, and shared standards."

    Will Creedon - Alloggio Founder & CEO 1/3

  • "ASTRA provides the forum where all of these voices can come together. It has allowed my business to engage directly with decision-makers, share knowledge with peers, and collaborate with partners across the spectrum of our industry. The advocacy, research, and networking opportunities have been invaluable in shaping both policy and practice and have given me confidence that our industry is better understood and better represented at every level of government and community."

    Will Creedon - Alloggio Founder & CEO 2/3

  • Just as importantly, our industry must continue to evolve – becoming more professional, consistent, and compliant in every aspect of what we do. That means ensuring physical properties are safe and well-presented, that every interaction with owners and guests reflects the highest standard of professionalism, and that the handling of money – whether guest funds, owner returns, or vendor payments – is managed with absolute integrity and accountability. This commitment must also extend to meeting, and where possible exceeding, statutory compliance obligations across every jurisdiction in which we operate. For us, the greatest benefit of membership is the sense that no matter your scale or role in STRA, ASTRA is the place where you belong. It is the collective voice and platform that enables us all to contribute, to learn, and to build a sustainable and respected future for our industry.

    Will Creedon - Alloggio Founder & CEO 3/3

Every challenge we face as an industry becomes more manageable when we face it together. Every opportunity becomes more accessible when we pursue it collectively. Every success becomes more meaningful when we share it as a community.

The question isn't whether you can afford to join ASTRA. It's whether you can afford not to.

Join us today. Because the future of short term rentals belongs to those who show up to shape it.
