Employer Associations

Employer Associations are organisations developed to provide industry specific support and advice to members. They often help negotiate awards and consult with government and other regulatory bodies on behalf of their members.

Associations related to the Australian building industry include:

• Housing Industry Association (HIA)
• Master Builders Association (MBA)
• National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC)
• Building Designers Association of Australia (BDAA)
• Australian Institute of Architects
• Swimming Pools and Spas Association (SPASA)
  

Each Association has State and Territory Chapters (divisions). Look out for the Chapter related to you in the main menu of each site.

Unions

Unions are organisations set up to support employees at work. Their primary purpose is to ensure that workers are safe and treated fairly. They actively work to advance the wages and working conditions of their members. Other services include educating members and the community about workplace rights and responsibilities and representing members in disputes with employers and investigating breaches of workplace safety and workplace relations (working conditions including pay, holidays, hours etc.).

There are more than 50 unions in Australia. The CFMEU is the union that represents the construction industry

The Australian Council for Trade Unions (ACTU) is the peak body for unions.

The ACTU has developed a website for students and teachers called Worksite. It is full of great resources and easy to read information about workplace rights.
