Victoria expands scheme to subsidise ceiling insulation installations
The Victorian government has expanded the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program to include upfront discounts on ceiling insulation. The government says households could save more than AU$400 a year on power bills.
Why it matters: Insulation installers, builders and carpenters in Victoria may see more demand as upfront discounts make ceiling insulation cheaper for households. Accredited providers should check the VEU requirements.
Come walk a day in the shoes of small business
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is asking government ministers and policymakers to spend a day working alongside a small business. It wants this to happen before they bring in more taxes, reporting requirements, compliance obligations or cost increases.
Why it matters: Small building trade businesses, including builders and subcontractors, carry the load of new taxes, paperwork and compliance rules. HIA is pushing for policymakers to understand that burden before adding more.
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.
