Professional development

We assist Members by advising them on recognised training programs. By participating in professional development, Members can formalise or expand their qualifications and skill set. This leads to increased job opportunities and income capacity.

Information

RTA Members can access relevant information about the issues that may affect their business and impact day-to-day operations. Better information gathering means Members make better, more informed decisions to increase business efficiencies, safety, and profitability.

Expand your opportunities

A key function of Responsible Trades Australia is investing in research and building trust-based alliances on behalf of our Members. Members can utilise these networks and alliances for new business opportunities.

Consumer confidence

Being part of a credible industry body is vital to maintain social credit. RTA’s membership criteria allow professional operators to leverage their valuable reputation into customer loyalty and social credit. Our message to consumers is simple: Wherever you see the RTA logo, you can transact with confidence.
