Membership Benefits

Benefits of Membership of the Finishing Trades Association of Australia

 

The FTAA provides finishing trades associations with a combined voice and leverages the combined scale of its member associations and organisations. Individual trades associations can be at a disadvantage to the larger building and licenced trades associations when engaging government, its agencies and industry groups including unions. The FTAA allows finishing trades associations to access services and products beyond their individual capability therefore increasing the value and support they provided their members.

 

If you are a professional trade association in the Australian building and construction industry and would like to discuss joining the FTAA call 03 7043 2872 or email [email protected]
