PrintThe Outdoor Recreation Centre Victoria Inc.
Established in 1988 by industry peak bodies and associations
The Outdoor Recreation Centre (ORC) is the central hub for all providers of outdoor recreation-based activities within Victoria.
Recognition and support of existing peak and community organisations enable the ORC to support the many outcomes and experiences available from the outdoors.
Where necessary, the ORC provides a single point of contact and a single voice for the outdoor industry when liaising with State Government Departments in the areas of Community Participation, Nature Based and Adventure Tourism, Land Management (access) and Regulatory influences. Likewise, these State Government Departments are enabled to communicate to the outdoor industry via the ORC.
The ORC’s membership of the Outdoor Council of Australia (OCA) ensures that Victorian organisations are informed of national developments such as conferences, leaders’ registration, standards and events as well as being networked to interstate counterparts.
The ORC provides Victorians with the opportunity to contribute towards initiatives in the outdoors that may affect them, as they arise.
The ORC Committee of Management is made up from nominees from member organisations. It currently comprises representatives from Adventure Guides Australia, Australian Camps Association, Bushwalking Victoria, Scouts Australia (Victoria Branch), Swinburne University, Tourism Alliance Victoria and the Victorian Outdoor Education Association.
Our Mission Statement
To advance the cause of outdoor activities in Victoria through communication, networking and representation.
