Victorian Building Authority

The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) helps keep people safe and protect the rights of home buyers, businesses, consumers and the community. We do this by registering the practitioners who work on buildings, such as plumbers and builders. We also inspect their work and ask them to fix any safety issues. Sometimes we are required to undertake disciplinary action, such as issuing fines, or taking people to court. Therefore, we employ a wide range of professionals such as lawyers, fire safety engineers, building inspectors and surveyors. Currently, there is a significant industry shortage in Building Surveying professionals, with a growing need for their services. Visit vba.vic.gov.au
