The Home Economics Institute of Australia is a powerful voice
for the home economics profession. It provides leadership, products
and services to meet the professional needs of home economists
by:
- Conferences, seminars and workshops
A national conference is held biannually. In addition, most
state and territory Divisions offer regular workshops, seminars
and conferences to address local needs. Members attend professional
development activities at a reduced cost
- Journals and newsletters
A refereed journal brings the latest in research and what is
happening in the field, and a national newsletter brings the
latest news. Most Divisions have their own publication to bring
the local news.
- Members online resources
HEIA members have access to the most recent journals online
in pdf format. They are also privy to a growing range of resources
such as divisional newsletters, units of work, links and presentations.
- Representation
The Institute provides representation on home economics matters
to state and commonwealth governments, industry and to other
non-government organisations
- Forward-looking resources
The Institute develops forward-looking resources to support
the profession, often with funding from external sources such
as governments and/or industry.
- Discounted publications
HEIA purchases publications in bulk and passes on the savings
to members.
- Information from education, industry and publishers
Inserts into the journal provide information from industry,
education, publishers and other resource developers
- Advisory, research and project services on a consultancy
basis
- Links to other associations
HEIA is one of the six member associations of the Technology
Education Federation of Australia, and one of 35 member associations
of the National Education Forum. HEIA is a member of the International
Federation for Home Economics, the only worldwide home economics
organisation, recognised as a Non-Government Organisation by
the United Nations. Membership of IFHE is available through
