Carrier Air Conditioning had a well-established independent dealership network in Sydney, which was growing throughout Australia. Subsequently, in the early 1980’s, some of the larger Carrier Independent Dealers in Sydney, the Central Coast, NSW Country regions and Canberra joined and formed the Carrier Dealer Association (CDA).

As time elapsed and other manufacturers appeared in the market place, alliances with manufacturers changed amid the Members. Consequently, the Association was renamed The Air Conditioning Dealer Association (ACDA).
