HEIA State and Territory divisions
In every state and territory of Australia there is a Division of the Home Economics Institute of Australia. The members of a Division are those members of the Institute who normally reside in that state or territory. Overseas members are invited to nominate the Division to which they would like to be attached.

At the request of a Division, Council may establish regional branches. Each Division, through its Executive Committee, manages its own affairs to reflect the objects of the Institute. However, each Division does play a strong role at the national level through council representation and participation on national standing committees. National decisions are made in consultation with Divisions.

Although there is variation among Divisions, some activities in which the Divisions are involved are: production of newsletters with local state or territory news and events; seminars; state conferences; workshops; and other professional development projects. Each Division reflects the views of its members and responds to various reports and legislation which affect home economics, and also prepares submissions for funding professional development and community projects.

Each Division receives capitation fees which are paid from the national account back to each Division. In 1994, this was $30 per member. Further details and information regarding how you can get involved in your Division's activities can be obtained from the Secretary of the Division of the state or territory in which you reside.
