SA Networking Event - 18th August 2026

Join AAAA in Adelaide this August for an important member forum on the future of the independent automotive aftermarket.

With major reforms, new vehicle technologies and changing regulatory expectations all moving quickly, this forum is a timely opportunity for South Australian members to hear what is coming, what AAAA is doing, and how industry can help shape the conversation.

Hosted by AAAA CEO Stuart Charity, the evening will include an association update, reflections on the success of the 2026 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo, and a look ahead to Autocare 2027, which will be held in Adelaide.

AAAA Director of Advocacy Lesley Yates will provide an update on key policy issues affecting members, including Right to Repair reform, access to technical information, EV servicing and repair, and the risk of fragmented regulation.

The forum will also feature a panel discussion with Lesley Yates and Peter Rogers, National Manager of Repco Authorised Service, exploring how the aftermarket can lead from the front on skills, safety and emerging vehicle technology — or risk having governments define the future for us.

This will be a practical, timely and highly relevant discussion for members who want to understand the changes ahead and be part of shaping the future of the aftermarket.

Members are invited to join us for drinks, networking, and discussion with fellow South Australian aftermarket businesses.
