Your mates are already in
The Builders Circle.
You already talk up NMBA to your mates on site. Now there’s actually something in it for you. Refer one business. Get rewarded. Get recognised. Simple as that.
Supporting builders since 1999
18 Trades Covered
160 + Apprentices currently on the tools
So what's the Deal
It's for the tradies who back the next gen.
The Builders Circle is NMBA’s way of saying cheers to the trade businesses that are investing in young tradies coming through. You’re already doing the legendary thing – hosting apprentices, building up the industry, passing on the knowledge. This program just makes sure you get something back for it. Join the circle, start unlocking real benefits and refer a fellow builder or subbie to NMBA to win $5,000.
Not vouchers. Not a newsletter.
Actual Stuff!
What you actually get!
The good stuff.
First dibs on apprentices
Builders Circle Members get first pick when new NMBA apprentices come available. The best candidates go to the businesses in the Circle - before anyone else even hears about them.
Discounted short term hosting rate
Occasionally we’ll offer apprentices at a discounted rate for temporary placements. Real savings, straight up.
Brekkie delivered to site
Join the circle and you’re in the monthly draw. Someone’s getting brekkie delivered to their site each month - could easily be you and the crew.
Members-only workshops
Practical business workshops with industry partners - the kind of stuff that actually helps you run a better operation. Not a seminar. Not a webinar. Proper workshop.
Your name up on the site
Your logo and business listed on the NMBA website as a Builders Circle member. Clients, apprentices, and other tradies can all see you’re one of the good ones.
Refer A Business
Win $5000 for your Team.
As a current MBA host, if you refer another business to hire through MBA you’ll go in the draw to win $5,000 to put straight back into your team. The more businesses you refer, the more entries you earn.

Put us onto one other business
