History

The Home Economics Institute of Australia (HEIA) has a rich history that reflects its evolution and commitment to the profession. Established in 1993, HEIA evolved from the earlier Home Economics Association of Australia, founded in 1965. This transition marked a significant milestone in unifying home economics professionals across the nation under a single, cohesive organisation. This section provides information about HEIA's history, its evolving brand identity, and its dedication to offering valuable opportunities for professional growth through national conferences. We hope you can contribute to HEIA’s history too.
