Participating in AuSAP
The following organisations have participated in AuSAP for the assessment of special purpose car seats. AuSAP is grateful for the commitment of all Australian importers in supporting the safe transport of children with disabilities and medical conditions.
Whilst some products have not been published on MACA's national product register, the overseas manufacturers and importers have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to AuSAP's aims - and MACA's vision that every child has access to safe and equitable transport.
As AuSAP is an ongoing program our national product register is regularly updated to reflect AuSAP outcomes.
