The Association of Consulting Architects (ACA) is the association which helps architects to do business.

The primary role of the ACA is to assist members to navigate their way through the employment processes including wages and awards, conditions of employment, represent them in industrial matters and maintain a concise and current information stream to members to enable the architects to be as little distracted as possible from their primary role of providing well considered designs, documents and other services to their clients.

The ACA is a federated organisation with branches in all states supporting a national executive. Approximately 620 member practices, employing over 6000 architects and ancillary staff, support the activities of the National and State offices. Membership is open to any architectural practice offering consultation services to clients. The cohort of members ranges from sole practitioners to the largest practices in Australia. The spread of size of practices is in line with that exhibited in the wider architectural community. This makes the ACA representative of the profession and able to be aware of and respond to the concerns of all sized practices.

Our contact details are on the contacts page and an electronic membership application form is available.
