Builders welcome Opposition focus on construction skills
Master Builders Australia has welcomed the Coalition's commitment to prioritise construction skills and address workforce shortages. The available article text is cut off, so the specific policies are not detailed.
Why it matters: Builders and other construction trades could see changes to apprenticeship and training support if the Coalition's skills commitment becomes policy. Workforce shortages affect project timelines and labour costs.
HIA calls for immediate inquiry into alleged fake safety qualifications
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) wants an immediate independent investigation into an alleged fake safety qualifications racket in Victoria's construction industry, which The Age reported today. The excerpt gives no further detail.
Why it matters: Builders and subcontractors in Victoria could face closer checks of safety tickets and site inductions if the allegations prove true. Trades should verify the credentials of their workers.
More than $470,000 in penalties imposed, as finance broking operator sanctioned for third time
The Fair Work Ombudsman won $478,880 in court penalties against two Melbourne companies and their manager. The conduct included systematic exploitation of migrant workers and adverse action. The finance broking operator has now been sanctioned three times.
Why it matters: The case is in finance broking, not the trades, so it has little direct impact. Trade employers who hire migrant workers can still see the Fair Work Ombudsman's enforcement and the penalties for repeat breaches.
