We’re the voice of the Australian property industry.
As the leading advocate for Australia's largest industry, we champion a strong, thriving sector that leaves a positive legacy for all Australians.
We are your strong voice.
Representing the leaders of the largest industry and biggest employer in Australia, we work with our 2,500 member organisations to advance our industry and its contribution to the community.
Whether it’s the homes we live in, the logistics facilities that move the economy, the offices where teams come together, or the shops and cafes where we eat and celebrate, property is the backbone of Australia’s economy.
Every day, our industry provides jobs for more than 1.4 million Australians – more than mining and manufacturing combined.
Through our three-year strategy, we are working with members, allies, and all tiers of government to realise the enormous potential of this extraordinary industry, and our great capital and regional cities.
We have a proud history of delivering outcomes that improve the lives of all Australians and create places for all stages of life, from students to retirees.
