Tilers Associations of Australia

Tilers Associations in Australia are operating on a national and state-based level with different associations created for specific tiles and materials while others represent the industry as a whole. Overall the purpose of these tilers associations is multi-layered with the interests of tilers and the industry itself of principal importance.

Tilers associations in Australia act as representatives of the tile industry, its level of service, the quality of the products supplied and the business practices of all those within the industry. Within these services that are offered, many tillers associations offer specialised training courses that range in everything from the manufacturing of ceramic tiles to Australian Standards and Industry requirements to Practical hands on, covers laying, cutting, waterproofing etc.

Both the national and state-based tilers associations are designed to increase the profile of the tiling industry, in particular the jobs of manufacturers, retailers and fixers and encourage these separate lines all support one another.

Other purposes of tilers associations include educating the public on the benefits of tiling, promote and assist the three main sectors of the industry (manufacturers, suppliers and fixers) while raising the standard of customer satisfaction from the quality of products to customer service.

Members of tilers associations can rely on such organisations for assistance within all stages of the tiling process for the manufacture, distribution, selection, specification, selling and/or fixing of ceramic tiles and related products. Additionally, members of tilers associations can benefit from technical support for any legislation issues.

The Australian Tile Council is one of the major tiling associations operating within Australia and acts as a liaison with the Australian Government to protect the tiling industry by registering as industrial organisation of employers that falls under the Australian Industrial Law, representing members and industry standards.

The Australian Tile Council states that it is committed to continuous and effective efforts in the tile industry with its support of National Tile Week with every division creating its own promotional activities while also pursuing the Asthma Foundation of Victoria accepting and approving of the Ceramic Tiles made or sold by members of the Australian Tile Council.
