Member INFO

The recent restructuring of the Association is designed to give broader coverage of industry activities to a greater number of association members:

  • full membership is available to all carpet and vinyl companies conducting business in Victoria. Full members are bound by a code of Ethics. associate membership encourages our suppliers to network with us and actively support our activities.
  • A strong association gives every member a voice with the government and organisations that determine the business environment in which we operate. A large association has much more influence.

Vision

  • floorcoverings only to be installed by qualified and competent installers (trade skills recognition);
