The mission of the Home Economics profession in Australia is to
educate, inform, and to act as an advocate to government, industry
and the community for families and households, so that individuals
can make informed choices in order to enhance their everyday living.
As the peak professional body for home economics professionals in
Australia, the Home Economics Institute of Australia represents the
interests of home economists working in education, industry, community
services, consumer affairs and family and household management. The
Institute was established to:
- provide a national focus for home economics and home economists
- promote public recognition of the role of home economists
- set professional standards for the practice of home economics
and promote the professional standing of home economists
- encourage and assist home economists with continuing education
and professional development
- encourage, initiate and coordinate research into areas related
to home economics
- cooperate and affiliate with bodies at a state, national and international
level, concerned with the education and advocacy for families and
households in their everyday living.
