Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) is the national body representing planning and the planning profession. Through education, communication and professional development, PIA is the pivotal organisation serving and guiding thousands of planning professionals in their role of creating better communities.

PIA currently represents approximately 4800 members nationally and internationally, and connects with 7500 planners annually. We are governed by a National Board of Directors and managed by a professional administration. We are a member-based organisation with its management complemented by volunteers, who support and contribute to our activities on various levels.

Our vision is "Leading effective planning for people and places"​.

We will realise our vision by:

Advocating for Better Planning: Our advocacy and policy development targets the outcomes and processes needed to better plan for the future, and the challenges we face.

Developing High Quality Planners: We build the capacity and capability of the planning profession to deliver better planning for communities.

Supporting the Profession: We support and nurture planners throughout their career to create a strong, connected planning community.
