The Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) is the peak body of the Australian urban water industry. Its 33 members and 29 associate members provide water and waste water services to approximately 16 million Australians and to many of our largest industrial and commercial enterprises.

Urban water service providers have a critical role in ensuring that Australians have access to adequate and high quality water services . As Australia’s population continues to grow, with most of this growth occuring in cities, that role becomes increasingly important.

WSAA's vision is for Australian urban water utilities to be valued as leaders in the innovative, sustainable and cost effective delivery of water services. WSAA strives to achieve this vision by promoting knowledge sharing, networking and cooperation amongst members.

WSAA identifies emerging issues and develops industry-wide responses.

WSAA is the national voice of the urban water industry, speaking to government, the broader water sector and the Australian community.

The Australian Institute of Building (AIB) is the preeminent organisation supporting the career development of building professionals in Australia and internationally.

The AIB’s primary focus is to promote building as genuine profession, support the career development of its members and to ensure that the building a construction industry has access to qualified and experienced graduates.

AIB is the accrediting body for building and construction management degrees at fourteen Australian tertiary education providers. By closely liaising with industry and the higher education sector, AIB is committed to ensuring that the graduates of tomorrow have the competencies required to enter the building industry.

The Water Industry Operators Association of Australia (WIOA) is a rapidly expanding national Association with a primary role of facilitating the collection, development and exchange of quality information between people undertaking operational roles in the water industry.

Our vision and goals are designed to promote the efficient, sustainable and best practice management of water and use of resources. They include developing technical resources, conducting seminars, conferences and events, having input into the development and maintenance of the Water Training Package and a range of other operator focussed activities and initiatives right across Australia.

We do all this in order to share knowledge, skills and expertise amongst water industry operational staff and to provide opportunities for professional and personal development. By participating at Association events, operations professionals can improve their knowledge and skills, their own performance and that of the systems they operate or control.
