Leading Australia in adopting tiny house living as a sustainable, innovative and inclusive housing option.

The Australian Tiny House Association (ATHA) is a non-profit organisation wholly run by our members and voluteers to ensure we accurately represent the diverse and rapidly growing movement.

What we offer

Education

We create peer reviewed guides for tiny house building, buying and living and are free for all, forever.

Advocacy

Our volunteers advocate to councils, state and federal governments for the benefits of permanent tiny house living.

Solutions

We have crafted a Planning Policy Template for local governments that has been the basis for a growing number of councils’ tiny house acceptance.

Support

We offer our members access to our pool of professional volunteer advisors so they can get help on their burning queries.

Why Join ATHA?

The more members ATHA has, the stronger our collective voice.

As a collective, we can advocate for tiny houses to be recognised as a legitimate form of permanent moveable housing across Australia.

By joining, you're not just adding your name, you're helping us produce trusted, evidence-based information that supports both our members and the wider community.

Together, we can reshape the housing landscape, making tiny living a normalised, accessible, and straightforward option for people across Australia.

Your membership enables sustained, long-term advocacy, moving beyond one-off campaigns to create meaningful, lasting change.
