As part of its consultation strategy, ACCAN has four Standing Advisory Forums. The four Standing Advisory Forums have replaced the previous Standing Advisory Committees that made up ACCAN's consultation framework – the Standing Advisory Committee on Consumer Affairs (SACCA) and the Standing Advisory Committee on Disability Issues (SACDI).

The new framework commenced in 2015 and will see each Advisory Forum meet annually. Additionally, where there are specific issues which require consultation, the ACCAN CEO may form Expert Advisory Committees.

• The Members Advisory Forum will focus across all the areas of ACCAN's activity and policy work.
  
  
• The Disability Advisory Forum will address issues regarding accessibility and suitability of communications services and products for Australians living with a disability.
  
  
• The Indigenous Advisory Forum focuses on Indigenous communications issues and suitability of communications services and products for Indigenous consumers.
  
  
• The Small Business Advisory Forum will work to ensure that the voice of small business consumers is heard in the telecommunications industry.
