Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA)

The Australian Institute of Architects is the primary professional body which represents the interests of architects in Australia.  It is a national body consisting of almost 10,000 members across Australia and overseas.  The Institute was formed in 1930 when state architectural Institutes combined to form a unified national association with the following aims:

• To advance architecture
• To maintain the integrity and standing of the profession
• To promote the profession's views nationally and internationally, and
• To encourage the study of architecture
