About us
The Association of Consulting Architects (ACA) is the key body representing architectural employers in Australia. The association leads the discussion on business matters in architecture in Australia. The ACA has branches in all states and its members cover the spectrum of practice – from sole practitioners to large practices – and include individuals, partnerships and companies. The ACA helps architectural businesses navigate the shifting territory of practice by providing regular advice and information on business issues, by promoting awareness of and discussion about business matters and by advocating for better business practices and legislative frameworks. Through its work the ACA helps to deliver long term health and viability for the architectural industry and, through that, maintain the important contribution the architectural profession makes to our cities, environments, communities and cultures. By providing leadership, support and advocacy on business and employment issues, the ACA assists practices to focus on making good architecture.

A must-read post from our new National Vice-President Kukame McPierzie...
I have recently been endorsed as the National Vice-President of the Association of Consulting Architects, the peak body representing architectural businesses in Australia. The work of the architect is so impactful - a profession that relentlessly drives positive outcomes throughout our cities, environments, economy, communities and culture. At the ACA we want our members to keep changing the world for the better. It's hard to change the world though if you don't run a healthy business, look after your people, or run a practice without the tools, resources and policy settings to support your ambition. The ACA membership is broad and diverse, from single-person practices working in regional Australia to large, national practices in the metropolitan areas. We advocate for the profession across industry and government, supporting our members with resources, advocacy and tools to enable vibrant and healthy architectural businesses. I look forward to working closely with our new National President, Paul Viney, and the rest of the ACA National Executive team as we move into 2025.
