About Think Brick Australia
Think Brick Australia represents Australia’s leading Clay Brick and Paver manufacturers. Our purpose is to make sure clay brick is recognised as a pre-eminent building material by leading architects, developers, builders and property owners.
In Australia the brick industry is worth $2.0Bn to the economy and employs 30,000 people nationwide in the manufacturing and installation of its product.
Bricks have been produced in Australia since the arrival of the First Fleet and are intrinsically linked with the great Australian dream of home ownership. After all, property is often referred to as ‘bricks and mortar’.
Think Brick Australia represents the nation’s leading clay brick and paver manufacturers and is responsible for promoting the contribution that brick makes to the way people live today.
New Design
We inspire new thinking in building design and architecture. Each year we run a design competition called About Face that pushes the boundaries of conventional thinking about building materials and residential architecture. Australia’s top architects are engaged to innovate with face brick and the results continue to provoke debate and draw considerable media attention.

Contemporary Lifestyle
By working closely with leading builders and developers we are ensuring brick homes are recognised as the most thermally comfortable, cost-effective and contemporary option for new home builders. We support events and industry initiatives that will deliver better results for our communities in the areas of affordability, sustainability and good design.
Sustainability
We invest in research to ensure brick products and forms of construction lead the debate on sustainability. In partnership with the world-ranked University of Newcastle we are undertaking Australia’s most extensive research into the thermal performance of masonry and other materials. The findings of this research will assist Government and the building and construction industry create more energy efficient buildings.
We are also developing Climate Design Guides that will provide practical, accessible data and advice to building designers and architects for 22 Australian climate zones.
