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.
