The WA Chapter represents the interest of the Institute and all of its members in Western Australia. Working in accordance with the Institute’s strategic plan, our committees implement programs to support our members and respond to current issues and opportunities for the profession.
We also focus on advocacy, raising the bar of excellence in architecture and the built environment more broadly in WA while actively engaging with the broader community, industry partners, universities, and state and local government.
The WA Chapter recognises the Noongar people as the traditional land owners of Nedlands. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, we want to reassure you that the Institute has the depth, the professionalism and the commitment to respond effectively to the situation and its ensuing impacts on the architectural profession.
While the WA Chapter office is now closed for the foreseeable future, we will continue working hard to support you from our home.
Chapter staff will be in contact with all committees and rescheduling meetings via zoom conferencing. CPD and networking events will be postponed until further notice or will be made available digitally to be streamed online.
