What Is the CAA?

The Contract Administrators Association (CAA) is Australia's dedicated professional body for practitioners who administer construction contracts. Contract administrators play a critical role in the delivery of building and infrastructure projects — assessing claims, issuing certificates, managing variations, and ensuring contractual obligations are met on all sides.

The CAA provides its members with access to continuing professional development, a national peer network, industry advocacy, and resources developed in partnership with Hamilton Mott, a specialist construction law firm.
