Housing Industry Association Sustainability Profile

Because we believe in building a better future.

Housing Industry Association (HIA) is the official body of Australia’s home building industry.

As the only national industry association for Australian building professionals, we represent the interests of the housing industry at regional and national levels. Our extensive membership program supports residential builders, trade contractors, developers, design professionals, kitchen and bathroom specialists, manufacturers and suppliers. We have been supporting the Australian home building industry for more than 60 years.

Demand for environmentally responsible and sustainable housing is a rapidly expanding and exciting area of the building and construction industry. Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious and want more from their homes and urban environments than ever before.

To meet these growing needs, HIA developed HIA GreenSmart® - Australia’s first sustainable building program designed for the residential building industry. It is tailored to support members in getting their green building credentials, by completing our HIA GreenSmart® professional training course to hone your skills and be recognised.
