The Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) is a professional body for architects in Australia. Prior to August 2008, its name was the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
The institute consists of 9000 members across Australia and overseas. It was formed in 1930, when state architectural institutes combined to form a unified national association. A chapter is maintained in each state. The AIA is represented on many national and state industry and government bodies, and is affiliated with the International Union of Architects (UIA).
