About Master Builders Association of New South Wales

The Master Builders Association of New South Wales (often referred to as Master Builders NSW or MBA NSW) is the peak industry association representing builders, contractors, and related trades across New South Wales. Established in 1873, it provides members with services such as industrial relations and workplace relations advice, legal and contracts support, workplace health and safety guidance, and access to industry information and events. Through its education arm, which is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 6163), Master Builders NSW delivers nationally recognised qualifications, short courses, apprenticeship programs, and continuing professional development (CPD) for people working in the building and construction industry.

A charge from “MASTER BUILDERS ASSOC - FOREST LODGE” on a card statement is typically linked to payments made to Master Builders Association of NSW, often processed through its Forest Lodge office (for example, workplace relations, membership, events or contract products) or for certain training and education services. These charges may relate to membership fees, course enrolments, exam or assessment fees, CPD seminars, industry events or awards nights, the purchase of contracts and guides, or fees for specialist workplace relations/industrial representation. In some cases, recurring billing can occur for ongoing membership or scheduled payment plans for training.

If a cardholder has questions about a Master Builders NSW charge, they should start by checking recent invoices, enrolment confirmations, membership renewal notices, or email receipts from mbansw.asn.au or mbansw.edu.au. Verifying any online account used for course bookings or membership management can also help identify the specific transaction. For further clarification or disputes, customers can contact Master Builders NSW directly via the contact details on their website, quoting the date and amount of the transaction; keeping copies of tax invoices and noting whether the payment is a once‑off fee or part of a subscription or payment plan will make resolving billing issues easier.
