The principal purpose of the ACA is to represent and
support architects in providing excellence in practice. The Association lobbies and consults with Government and major industry bodies, arranges events
and provides other services in support of this goal.
The ACA promotes the service a consultant architect
offers and works to sustain the profession’s reputation
and ensure its appropriate place within the building industry, as well as maintaining awareness of its value to
clients, domestic and commercial, and the broader
community as a whole.
8. ACA members are eligible for 20% discount
across our architectural appointment agreements and
subscription service.
While other benefits are available to members, this collective voice is regarded as the most important function
of the ACA and is central to the ethos of the Association.

5. The ACA offers its members two architectural
appointment agreements. The Professional Services
Agreement (PSA22) is our published contract for small
and domestic works. Our second appointment
agreement, the newly published Standard Form of
Agreement (SFA24), closely follows its predecessor
SFA/2012, which has served both architects and clients
well since its inception as SFA/92. The SFA24 is for use
with traditional forms of building contracting where the
architect can be appointed from pre-commencement to
post completion.
