About Us
The Indoor Air Quality Association Australia (IAQAA) is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2016 to prevent and solve indoor environmental problems. While supported by the U.S. based Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), IAQAA operates independently, holding its own membership and governance structures.
The IAQAA is dedicated to bringing professionals together to prevent and solve indoor environmental problems for the benefit of customers and the public. We connect experts across diverse fields, including science, engineering, consulting, remediation, facility management, healthcare, education, regulation, and beyond. By fostering collaboration and advancing best practices, we address indoor air quality challenges across Australia, welcoming input from all sectors.
We do this through:
Professional Development: Webinars, talks and conferences.
Industry Initiatives: Working groups to produce position papers.
Resource Sharing: Guidelines, educational materials.
Advocacy: Work with members and policymakers to promote evidence-based approaches to indoor air quality.
Joining IAQAA provides the opportunity to connect with professionals dedicated to advancing indoor air quality across a broad range of sectors. Members gain access to exclusive events, technical resources and collaboration opportunities, whether they are established experts or emerging professionals.

IAQA Australia is COMMITED TO C.A.R.E.!
Reducing the risk of transmission of an airborne virus, like SARS-Cov-2, is key to reducing its spread.
Commit to C.A.R.E. is a public awareness campaign with a mission to:
Debunk myths about the spread of the COVID-19 virus
Make the complexities of the science easier to understand through various engaging multi-media tools
Encourage businesses to pledge their commitment to C.A.R.E. for the health and well-being of their employees, clients, and customers.
C.A.R.E. is an acronym that reflects the principles of Community, Awareness, Responsibility, and Equity. As such, we strive to deliver clear science-based messaging that reflects our commitment to public health across the communities where we work and live.
Commit to C.A.R.E. was developed in 2021 by the AIHA and IBEC, under a cooperative grant agreement funded in part by a CDC/NIOSH grant.
