National Construction Code

The National Construction Code is part of The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB).

The ABCB produces and maintains the National Construction Code, which is a set of technical design and construction provisions for buildings in Australia.

The Code sets the minimum required level for certain buildings’ safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability.

The National Construction Code provides a consistent, nationwide approach to building regulation and is recognised as the benchmark for safe and sustainable building practices in Australia.

  • The National Construction Code is a comprehensive and performance-based code that sets minimum requirements for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability of certain buildings in Australia.

  • The National Construction Code is regularly updated to reflect the latest changes in building design and construction practices.

  • The National Construction Code is available online and accessible to anyone.

  • The National Construction Code is compliant with the International Building Code.

The Australian Building Codes Board is a joint initiative of the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments, together with the building and plumbing industries.
