VANA is a proactive industry association that actively ensures the newsagency industry remains strong and viable by researching, developing and implementing state and national projects that benefit Newsagents across Victoria and Australia.
In March 2020, VANA launched the National Lotteries and Newsagents Association (NLNA), implementing national partnerships and projects that benefit newsagents and retailers across Australia.
For over 146 years we have provided support, advice and advocacy to Victorian Newsagents as Australia’s peak body Association.
Our charter is clear, to improve income, reduce costs and increase foot traffic across Victoria.
We support and celebrate our industry through many events across the calendar year, including the prestigious VANA Industry Awards Night where members, Government and Industry come together as one to recognise the very best retailers in Victoria.
At VANA you are never alone.
