Its primary role is to promote the viewpoints and interests of the building and construction industry and to provide services to members in a broad range of areas including training, legal services, industrial relations, building codes and standards, industry economics and international relations.

Master Builders is Australia's oldest industry association. Founded in the early 1870's in Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle the movement quickly grew with Master Builders Associations being established in each state and territory of Australia. It was federated on a national basis in 1890.

Today, MBA's membership consists of large national, international, residential and commercial builders and civil contractors through to smaller local subcontracting firms, as well as suppliers and professional industry advisers. Membership of the MBA movement represents 95% of all sectors of the building industry.

The MBA has offices in all capital cities and major regional cities of Australia. It employs over 340 experienced staff with qualifications in a diverse range of disciplines including building, engineering, law, management, economics, marketing, accounting, industrial relations, safety, building surveying, international business and training.
