Stories from HERA members.

Our members are accredited energy assessors working right across Australia, from sole traders through to established consultancies. Here is what being accredited with HERA has meant for their work.

Switching to HERA was one of the best decisions for my energy-rating business.

As an independent not-for-profit AAO, they genuinely look out for the needs of assessors. Their accreditation processing, clear CPD point tracking, and reasonably priced Professional Indemnity Insurance make staying compliant straightforward and stress-free. Their team is always available when you need practical guidance.

Yanni Fragkoulidis
Thermal Energy Assessor

As a member of HERA, they support me in maintaining my accreditation, continuing professional development and keeping up to date with industry technical requirements, policies and standards, which is invaluable as a NatHERS assessor.

Kerrianne Treacy
Homestar

As a sole operator, I genuinely value the support HERA provides.

I originally joined HERA as they are a one stop shop with support, insurance, CPD and accreditation all in one package. Having stayed with them now for several years I have valued the personal fast response helping me with professional guidance, industry expertise and a network of knowledgeable people. I highly recommend HERA to other energy assessors looking for a supportive and professional industry association.

Emma
Energy Assessor

I can confidently say that HERA is easily the best.

Over 26 years as a company director in the energy efficiency industry, I’ve been accredited with Design Matters, ABSA and HERA. Both myself and the four other assessors in our office are accredited through HERA. Their quality assurance audits never feel like an interrogation. They genuinely work alongside you as a supportive partner. I highly recommend HERA to any assessor looking for a reliable, supportive and practical accreditation organisation.

Ian Zappala
Director, Energy Rating Consulting

I hold my accreditation through HERA and the support has been great.

Whether I’ve phoned or emailed with questions I’ve always had a prompt response. Where an answer is not immediately clear they will always let me know and get back to me as soon as they have a solution. Training and CPD resources are practical and up to date. When you’re out on the coal-face trying to help your clients navigate compliance pathways in a way that suits their build / budget it is always good to know you have a solid backing! I would happily recommend HERA to anyone looking to get accredited as an energy rater.
