AGA has a long and proud history of serving the Australian community since 1925 focused on public safety, technical standards and industry development. The association has been known as the The Australian Gas Association (AGA) since 1962, when the National Gas Association and the Australian Gas Institute merged. The reasons AGA was associated include, the development of Australia’s gas Standards, approval of gas products and bringing the industry together. Given AGA’s roots and make up in being not-for-profit and membership based, AGA’s primary objective is “safety” and not “profit” driven. AGA has evolved with the industry and now also provides safety assurance and energy efficiency services for some non-gas products. AGA is JAS-ANZ and NATA accredited and also recognised by government regulatory authorities for gas and water products. We are now also ASQA accredited to deliver nationally recognised training.
