BuildSkills Australia was established by the federal government to work with industry to find solutions to the workforce challenges facing the construction, property and water industries.
A JOBS AND SKILLS COUNCIL
BuildSkills brings together stakeholders in a tripartite approach to solve problems collaboratively. We are an active partner in the national conversation around jobs and skills, listening to industry and translating their concerns into evidence-based policy and program responses.
BuildSkills is overseen by a Board comprising equal representation of employee and employer groups. Our governance structure has been carefully designed to ensure BuildSkills is a nonpartisan voice that fairly represents the interests of both workers and employers.
