Our members are retailers, pet boarding & services, pet grooming, aquatics, breeders, suppliers & manufacturers. Australia’s pet industry is growing rapidly, but with that growth comes complexity. Pet businesses today face rising costs, shifting regulations, staffing shortages and customers who expect more than ever. It is becoming harder to stay profitable and compliant while still delivering qua
lity care. The Pet Industry Association of Australia (PIAA) is the only national body representing the full spectrum of businesses involved in companion animal care.

Represent your business interests to governments and regulators
Advocate for consistent, fair laws that reduce red tape and support growth
Provide training, tools and resources to lift standards and reduce risk
Build consumer trust through recognised codes of conduct and accreditation
