The Australian Canyoning Association aims to

• foster an appreciation for and co-operate to pursue safe, responsible canyoning and related activities.
• promote a code of ethics for canyoning.
• be the voice for the canyoning community.
• care for the environment.

The association plans to contribute to this by:

• liaison (including other associations, relevant authorities, and landholders).
• assisting practically in caring for canyoning related environments (for example, working with relevant authorities, arranging working bees for the purpose of anchor maintenance, track maintenance and bushcare).
• developing and maintaining a recommended guide for safe and responsible canyoning (including guidelines for canyon leaders).
• arranging workshops for the development of safe and responsible canyoning skills (including safe anchors, rigging options, knots for canyoning, and equipment).
• maintaining a link with international canyoning bodies.
• developing and maintaining a canyon registry, consistent with preserving the wilderness integrity of unpublished canyons.
• developing and promoting a consistent method of canyon grading.
