ABout the ATFA
ATFA is a strong and dynamic, not-for-profit, member-based association singularly focused on the timber flooring industry. We deliver high-quality, industry specific services and technical information to our members and the community.
ATFA is led by its members. Driven by our industry Board and Industry Committees throughout the states, we exist only to build the professionalism and market share of our members who comprise timber flooring contractors, timber flooring manufacturers, coating manufacturers, adhesive manufacturers, suppliers and retailers.
Timber Floors currently represent 25% of the flooring market and this figure is steadily increasing. Natural timber flooring is arguably more energy efficient than other surface, uses less energy and greenhouse gases in its production* and is a sustainable resource. Wood floors are naturally warm and enticing, providing a relaxing and calming environment. When cared for they will last a lifetime.

Membership Accreditation Levels
Members can obtain membership at levels 1 to 3, a members with 0 on their member card, have not yet obtained accreditation.
Level 1 member accreditation (for contractors) reflects the member business has achieved ‘Authorised Flooring Contractor’ status and will be able to provide an official job quote, contract and warranty for the project.
Level 2 member accreditation (for contractors) reflects the member business has achieved ‘Master Flooring Contractor’ status. In addition to having a proper quote, contract and warranty, the business also participates in training and completes quality assurance documentation for every job.
Level 3 member accreditation (for contractors) is the highest level and the business holds the status of ‘Quality Assured Contractor’. At this level members must assure a complete quality outcome of the project. Businesses with this level of accreditation will meet all the requirements of the previous two levels plus participate in a greater level of training to meet compliance. Upon any realistic concern raised with the project, the member will organise an ATFA inspection. A full audit of the business and its operating procedures is conducted to achieve this level.
