About HIA

The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is the voice of Australia’s home building industry. We’ve been backing builders, tradies, suppliers, manufacturers and designers since 1945.

With members across the country, we support businesses of all sizes and stages — from apprentices and sole traders to major building companies.

We’re here to make a real difference: leading the conversation on industry issues, keeping standards high, and offering practical support where it’s needed most. From training and apprenticeships to business advice, safety, compliance and workplace services, HIA helps the people who are building Australia.

 

Building a better future

HIA has backed Australia’s home building industry for over 80 years, and we’re here to back you too. Whether you’re fresh out of school or ready to level up, we’ll help you gain the skills and support to kickstart your career in building and construction. We offer nationally recognised training and apprenticeships designed to get you job-ready and confident about what’s next. From school leavers to career changers, our apprenticeship program covers everything you need to know — what to expect on the job, what you’ll earn, and how to find the right path. You’ll also hear directly from our apprentices about why they love what they do and chose the building industry.

We want you to thrive, not just in a trade, but in the career you shape for yourself. Explore our full range of training options, from building and construction qualifications to diplomas and short courses in finance, compliance and planning. Your future is yours to build.
