Stronger Together: Join the Pet Industry Association of Australia (PIAA)

Since 1979, PIAA has been the only trade-only association representing and protecting pet care professionals across Australia. 
We stand at the frontline of advocacy, education, and industry growth—working alongside you to shape a stronger, more respected pet industry.

A United Voice That’s Heard

PIAA champions policies that protect and grow the pet industry—actively advocating with government, regulators, and welfare bodies to support your business.

Code of Practice and Professional Standards

PIAA members meet strict standards and are regularly reviewed—so choosing one means backing a business that does the right thing.

Connection and Support

Connect with peers, industry leaders, and experts. Get direct support from PIAA staff, directors, and state coordinators committed to your success.

Affordable and Scalable Membership

Whatever your size or sector, PIAA has a membership tier to suit your needs and budget.

Educational Offers and Discounts

We believe ongoing learning strengthens the pet industry. PIAA members get exclusive discounts—like 10% off PIAA Education courses—covering animal care, behaviour, first aid, and more. Stay current, build skills, and raise standards every day.

Dedicated Business Support

PIAA members get access to tailored business services—from pet industry-specific insurance to discounted marketing support. These practical tools help cut costs, boost visibility, and run your business with confidence.

Networking and Industry Events

PIAA members enjoy exclusive networking events—like trade expos, forums, and member-only meetups. Connect with peers, share ideas, and stay ahead of trends, all with discounted tickets and exhibitor rates.

You don’t have to be a pet business to make a difference

PIAA welcomes like-minded suppliers, service providers, and organisations outside the pet industry. As an associate member, you can support advocacy, raise standards, and connect with pet professionals nationwide—strengthening our shared voice.
