National Fire Industry Association Of Australia

National Fire Industry Association (NFIA) is the peak national Fire Protection Industry association delivering systemic advocacy for fire protection contracting companies. We are an Australia-wide community of commercial Fire Protection contractors, their people, suppliers and industry stakeholders representing a wide and varied membership from the smallest sub-contractor through to large Australia-wide design, install and service businesses. Our members work at the front line of fire protection with an estimated 80 per cent of the commercial Fire Protection work undertaken in Australia completed by members of NFIA. NFIA‘s VISION is of an Australian world-leading Fire Protection Industry that ensures every Australian remains safe from the devastating effects of building fires. NFIA‘s MISSION is to partner with our members to realise that vision by: • Improving the training of our fire protection workforce across all aspects of fire protection safety; • Providing essential business and technical advice, resources and education; • Developing and nurturing mutually beneficial relationships and strategic alliances; • Advocating for continuous improvement to Government policy and legislation; • Advocating for continuous investment by industry in research and development; and • Promoting the improved professionalism of the industry. Association members include contracting firms specialising in design, installation, testing, maintenance of fire protection systems as well as suppliers and manufacturers. NFIA is supported by a highly professional national office and senior supporting staff throughout the country. NFIA is responsible to a National Board of Directors comprised of representatives from fire protection contractor companies from each state. NFIA also utilises the resources of other Australian and International industry organisations and associations. NFIA has training centres located in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
