What’s the “HIA Helper”? A messenger-style pop-up live chat window for you to get answers to our most frequently asked questions (FAQs) from our Help Centre - whenever you like.  

First, the HIA Helper chat window pops up and asks you what you want to know. Once you enter your question, we’ll give you a list of topics to click on.  

Just so you know, the HIA Helper is still learning how to help! It won’t have the answer to every question. Try and use keywords as much as possible, things you think your answer would be filed under. And try again if your first try doesn’t work. 

If you can’t find what you need, head to our “Search” page or give the HIA office a call during business hours. 

Our Help Centre is where you can find the answers to our frequently asked questions. Got a question about building services, contracts support or even how to use our website? The Help Centre is where you can find what you need to know.  

Another thing: The HIA Helper pop-up live chat window is one way to search our new database of advice and information. Just enter your query in the pop-up window at the bottom of your screen and you’ll be pointed in the direction of a relevant topic. 

Note: we are continually building the Help Centre, so it will grow over time.
