The ABCB is a joint initiative of the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments, together with the building and plumbing industries. The ABCB is an agency within the Department of Industry, Science and Resources and our office is a professional, technical and administrative team that provides support to the Board and executes its ongoing work program.
