Yes. The Australian Tiny House Association (ATHA) is a volunteer organisation that advocates for the rights of those who choose to live in Tiny Houses.

At Tiny House Industry Australia (THIA), our primary focus is supporting the businesses working within the industry.

We see both organisations as complementary, and vital for the continued growth of the industry.

We recommend membership of both organisations.

At this stage, the answer is no.

While most builders currently working within the industry do have building qualifications and trade experience, we believe it's important right now that education is accessible to all those who seek to contribute to the industry.

Part of our longer term mission is to work with builders towards the development of a new set of building guidelines applicable to Tiny Houses on Wheels.

We will be looking into whether it would be beneficial for there to be a qualification requirement for builders operating within the industry in the future.

At present, the legislation that applies to dwellings built on wheels and trailers differs from those built on skids or foundations.

THIA's focus is on advocating for the widespread acceptance of Tiny Houses on Wheels. As such we presently accept only member applications from those building homes on trailers.

Please join our email list and follow us on social media though, as we do share content relating to the broader industry that may be relevant to you.

To reduce our admin so we don't waste precious time chasing our members for renewal payments, we've chosen a subscription model of membership. This means your chosen method of payment will be debited automatically each year on your renewal date to ensure uninterrupted access to your Toolbox and member resources.

You can, however, cancel prior to renewal.

In a few different ways. All current members appear on a searchable page on our website, so discerning buyers can find reputable businesses in their chosen area, along with recommendations on how to avoid being scammed.

On joining and having your membership approved, you will also receive your digital membership badge. We encourage you to display this publicly on your website, social media and any advertising materials, to build trust with your audience and demonstrate your commitment to operating in a genuine and ethical manner.
