NUCCRA is a nationally registered Australian body, formed in 1995 by the unification of three major State based Associations which had been representing our industry for many years.

It is the only Australian, unaligned, trade association representing the interests of all professionals involved in the carpet and upholstery cleaning, and restoration industries. Whether you are a sole trader or a large carpet cleaning or restoration company, the benefits are applicable to you & your company.

NUCCRA is a non-profit association owned by the members with all benefits passing to the members. We are dedicated to represent all of our members who may be involved in various facets of the industry including: Carpet Cleaning, Upholstery Cleaning, Fire and Smoke Restoration and Water Damage Restoration.

NUCCRA has aligned itself with the longest serving international training body in the world, the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration Certification) and by becoming a shareholder of IICRC, has access to the most experienced and qualified trainers in the industry, both nationally and internationally, together with information on the latest products, systems and technology.

NUCCRA works in close association with other industry bodies such as the Carpet Institute of Australia (CIAL), the Textile Institute, Building Service Contracts Association of Australia (BSCAA) and is affiliated with the Carpet Cleaners Association of New Zealand and the Advantage Group of WA.

NUCCRA actively works with Standards Australia to develop and review industry standards, is involved in the development & maintenance of AS/NZS:3733 (Carpet Cleaning), AS/ANZ:4849 (Upholstery Cleaning) and is now participating in the development of a standard for Water Damage Restoration.
