The work of the Auctioneers and Valuers Association of Australia (AVAA) is shaped by its members, who generously volunteer their time to serve on national committees. Their insights and expertise ensure that AVAA’s project and advocacy priority directly reflects the realities of auctioneering and valuation practice across the nation.

Through these committees, members establish and refine professional standards, developing benchmarks that define excellence across the sector. This collaborative approach ensures consistency, quality, and trust in the services delivered by AVAA Certified Practising Auctioneers and AVAA Certified Practising Valuers.  The also help to frame events such as the AVC26 Conference.
