Industry association
The Australian Collectors & Debt Buyers Association represents businesses engaged in the collection, purchase, and sale of consumer and commercial debt across Australia.
ACDBA exists to support a professional, compliant, and evidence-informed debt collection and debt buying sector. It gives members a forum to discuss regulatory change, policy issues, operational standards, and responsible conduct.
