The Housing Industry Association (HIA) and the Masters Builders of Australia (MBA) are the main associations for builders.
They will take complaints about members, but their primary obligation is to the member.
You can contact your Consumer Affairs / Fair Trading offices.
Some states have specialist building regulators and tribunals with dispute resolution processes that you can use.
