The Tertiary Education Facilities Management Association (TEFMA) is an independent association of facilities managers operating in the tertiary education sector of Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore. TEFMA assists facilities managers in universities, colleges and other educational institutions in the Asia-Pacific region by promoting excellence in the planning, construction, maintenance, operations and administration of educational facilities. TEFMA serves the education community by conducting research, developing educational programs, holding conferences and workshops, producing publications, developing guidelines, and serving as a central information source for its members. TEFMA is acutely aware of the need to remain relevant in an ever changing tertiary and vocational education sector and is creating closer ties with Universities Australia and Universities New Zealand to this end. Sustainability and carbon emissions are major public policy issues and TEFMA is extending its annual benchmarking report to ensure our members track these important societal issues and assist their institutions in bringing around change.
