About us
Master Builders Australia speaks on behalf of Australia’s building and construction industry. It is the national voice of nine Master Builders Associations in each of Australia's states and territories. Master Builders represents the interests of more than 33,000 building and construction businesses including Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) Top 200 companies, major private construction companies, commercial builders and residential builders and thousands of small and medium firms. Master Builders stands up for the industry which builds the homes, schools and hospitals we live in and depend on and the infrastructure which is essential to more liveable and connected communities. Australia's building and construction industry is the nation's third largest employer, employing more than a million Australians and training more apprentices than any other industry. Building and construction has always been vital to Australia's future and has never been more so as Australia faces up to robust economic challenges. Master Builders Australia develops and advocates public policies to foster a stronger more productive building industry and a stronger national economy.
