Trades shortages persist as work on the ground remains solid
Skilled trade shortages remain widespread across Australia. The HIA says demand for workers is being supported by the recovery in home building activity over the past year.
Why it matters: Builders, carpenters and other residential trades should expect continued tight labour supply. That can mean higher wage pressure, harder hiring and longer lead times on jobs.
New home sales slump
New home sales dropped 17.5 per cent in the September quarter 2026, according to the Housing Industry Association. The fall reverses the recovery that began in 2025.
Why it matters: Builders, carpenters and the trades that follow them on new homes (plumbers, electricians, roofers, painters) may see fewer new job starts and a thinner work pipeline in coming months.
