The Australian Institute of Architects (officially as the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, abbreviated as RAIA) is the professional body for architects in Australia. The post-nominals of FRAIA (Fellow) and RAIA (Members and organisation abbreviation) continue to be used. The Institute supports 14,000 members across Australia, including 550 Australian members who are based in architectural roles across 40 countries outside Australia. SONA (Student Organised Network for Architecture) is the national student-membership body of the Australian Institute of Architects.

History
The Australian Institute of Architects was established on 6 September 1929 and continued under this name until 18 August 1930, when the "Royal" title was granted, and it became the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
A number of states formed professional societies for architects, including the Queensland Institute of Architects, and the West Australian Institute of Architects.
The South Australian Institute of Architects (SAIA) was founded by a resolution passed by a group of architects on 20 September 1886, and in 1904 Walter Hervey Bagot designed its seal. David Williams was one of the founding group, and was president from 1911 to 1913. During this time he called on the South Australian Government to hold design competitions for large public buildings, and the SAIA also became an allied member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
The Australian Institute was formed in 1929, when state architectural institutes combined to form a unified national association, although full federation of the state-based institutes did not come about immediately, with some states maintaining their independence. The South Australian Institute of Architects only joined up in July 1962, becoming the "South Australian Chapter". The Royal Victorian Institute of Architects (RVIA) was the last to join, in 1968.
Name change
In August 2008, following an informal poll of members in 2001, the National Council resolved to continue trading as the "Australian Institute of Architects", while retaining "Royal Australian Institute of Architects" as the legal name. The postnominals of "FRAIA" (Fellow) and "RAIA" (Members and organisation abbreviation) continue to be used with the legal name abbreviated.
Purpose, functions, affiliations
As a professional body representing architects, the institute is represented on many national and state industry and government bodies, and is affiliated with the International Union of Architects (UIA).
