Ensuring the future of Australia’s Dynamic Pipeline Industry

In 1968 the industry association that is now APIA began as a construction contractors’ association, providing networking opportunities for the construction industry.  The Association expanded its interests over the years and, with the privatisation of transmission assets and the winding back of the Australian Gas Association in the late 1990s, APIA strengthened its government relations role, establishing its headquarters in the nation’s capital, Canberra, in 2000.

APIA is internationally unique, as the members come from all sectors of the transmission pipeline industry, and all have an important role to play in the safe and efficient operation of the transportation systems for gas, slurry, oil, water and other liquids.

APIA is committed to providing high-quality services to all members, through the many networking events around the nation, through representing the industry to government on a range of issues and highlighting the industry’s commitment to safe and efficient energy transportation.
