Building homes means building the foundation of our nation. We understand the blood, sweat and tears that goes into building a home, so that’s why we value the community that stands for high-quality construction and workmanship.
What is the secret ingredient to HIA? It's our people. Be a part of our community so we can all share experiences, celebrate opportunities, and give back to the industry.
Building homes together
Being a valued member of Australia’s national home builders association means you never exist in isolation. Our members are more than a number – we advocate for your needs and work hard to give you the same sense of belonging as the people you build dream homes for.
What we do
Everything we do is to support our members. We’re by your side whenever you need guidance, from delivering up-to-the-minute industry information, explanations of regulations and legal requirements, to our advocacy to governments on your behalf.
Get involved
There are plenty of ways to get involved, make your mark and help shape our industry. Our committees are the foundation of our association and work to bring real changes to the things that matter to you and your business.
Get to know us
There is more to your business than building, and there is more to HIA than support, advice and advocating for the residential housing industry. The heart of our association is you – our members.
