About the BSCAA

The BSCAA is Australia’s peak industry representative body for the building services industry. Our Association members include contractors for cleaning, security, facilities management and grounds maintenance.

The BSCAA provides leadership for members and the provision of a range of relevant and quality services. We seek to work with Government and other industry stakeholders to improve the professionalism of the industry and all those that participate within it.

BSCAA Vision

To strengthen our status as the peak representative body for building service contractors, to be a valued partner of other building stakeholders and to provide a conducive environment to enable member companies to be secure, profitable and good corporate citizens.

History

Our Association was chartered in 1964 as a mutual, not-for-profit organisation to represent and support the building services industry.

For some 40 years the Building Service Contractors Association of Australia has been helping member contractors in the building services industry to survive and to grow. Our membership is predominantly "small business" and our focus is on helping solve problems and reduce the amount of time spent on administration.

Being in business is a challenge and the building services sector is tough challenge.

BSCAA works for its members to improve their bottom line and keep them on top of changes in award requirements, legislation, health and safety issues, public liability insurance, codes of practice and all other issues that have the potential to divert members away from the real business of building services.
