Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA)

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) is a national, non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming Australia’s built environment towards sustainability. Established in 2002, it created and manages the Green Star rating system, a comprehensive framework for assessing environmental performance across buildings and communities. GBCA advocates for carbon-neutral design, circular material use, and healthier spaces. Through partnerships with government and industry, it supports national targets for net-zero emissions and resource efficiency. GBCA’s education and certification programs make it a cornerstone of Australia’s green building movement.
