How we create community

We build community by giving back to those who shape our industry, supporting charities and mental health initiatives. This helps to strengthen wellbeing and create meaningful benefits for our members across the residential building sector throughout Australia.

HIA Charitable Foundation

Giving back to our industry is core to what we do. This means supporting charities that directly benefit who matter most: our members. From mental health charity Beyond Blue to the Tradie Health Institute, the HIA Charitable Foundation's chosen charities improve lives and make great things happen.

Mental health program

Great mental health is crucial to success in all aspects of the Australian housing industry. Our members and residential building at large are disproportionately affected by challenges in this area. Here's how HIA dedicates time and resources to support our members in achieving health and wellbeing.
