TESTIMONIALS
Love To Dream
“When I designed Swaddle UP the first organisation I contacted was INPAA. I wanted to ensure I had created the safest possible product that exceeded all mandatory Australian standards. Tim was instrumental in this process then and continues to be 13 years on as we continue to extend our range offering. He is a fantastic sounding board around new product ideas and what considerations we should think about from a compliance and safety perspective. Tim’s advice is always commercially astute, highly strategic and covers all categories in the nursery industry.”
Hana Krawchuk
Founder, Love To Dream
The Amazing Baby Company
"The Amazing Baby Company has been partnered with Tim Wain and INPAA for almost 14 years. He has been instrumental in ensuring we deliver safe, compliant, innovative products to Australian families.
Selling safe products is paramount, but the maze of Australian safety standards and compliance requirements can be overwhelming. Tim has been able to help us navigate this process with ease and support.
Being a member of INPAA is important to our company not only for compliance but also to ensure we are up to date with regulations. The regular INPAA meetings has allowed us to stay up to date and fully informed on Safety initiatives, emerging hazards and potential changes to regulations. It also gives an opportunity to connect with others within the baby industry. Meetings have been flexible and adapted to current changes by offering to attend either in person or via video. I would recommend every manufacturer, distributor or supplier of baby products be a member of INPAA."
