Help highlight HVAC&R
Make our industry known with your response to the Australian Census – August 10, 2021
The heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry underpins almost every aspect of modern human life. It’s time for it to be more widely recognised.
AIRAH is calling on everyone involved in HVAC&R to highlight this vital sector in their response to the 2021 Census of Australia (Tuesday, August 10).

HOW IT WORKS
Recognition really does start at home. Join AIRAH’s campaign to help raise the profile of HVAC&R with the Australian government.
When you fill out the Census of Australia on August 10, under industry or business (Q46 in the paper/online form), write “HVAC&R”.

WHO SHOULD GET INVOLVED?
The HVAC&R industry is incredibly diverse and encompasses many professions. Whether you work as an engineer, tradesperson, RAC technician, marketer, business manager, salesperson, communicator, educator, or any number of related roles in the building services sector – we need your help.

WHY IT MATTERS
The HVAC&R industry is notoriously a hidden one. Despite playing a major role in food transportation, vaccine storage, home heating and cooling, and even the control of pandemics – by its very nature, HVAC&R is out of sight and usually out of mind.
It’s a global lack of recognition that must be addressed. Why? Because we need to stop the skills shortage, prevent global warming, and ensure HVAC&R’s energy-efficient future through ongoing innovation.
This involves attracting top talent to HVAC&R. We can’t do that without the support and recognition of industry, government, schools, and more.
Join us on August 10 to highlight an important sector of the Australian economy and a vital part of daily human life.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
In addition to filling out the industry section of the census with HVAC&R, AIRAH has created resources to support this campaign that can be shared on your socials, via email, or at your office.
We have also created some sample social copy for use on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
