The National Construction Code is Australia’s primary set of technical design and construction provisions for buildings.
As a performance-based code, it sets the minimum required level for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability of certain buildings. The Australian Building Codes Board, on behalf of the Australian Government and each State and Territory government, produces and maintains the National Construction Code.
From 1 May 2025, the NCC is to be read in light of amendments outlined in NCC 2022 Amendment 1. These amendments contain variations and additions for Western Australia, a variation for Tasmania regarding Volume Two Part H8, and a few minor corrections.
