Become part of our community

HIA community is a centralised hub that connects like-minded building professionals and provides access to support, business advice and resources.

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.
