The latest HIA Trades Report found skilled trade shortages across every Australian housing market and every trade in the September quarter of 2026. The shortages remain widespread.

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.

WA passes new payment protection laws for subcontractors
Western Australia's Parliament has passed new payment protection laws for subcontractors. The changes, made through an amendment to the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) legislation, aim to give subcontractors stronger protection against insolvency.
Why it matters: Subcontractors in WA, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters and other trades, get stronger protection if a head contractor becomes insolvent. This could reduce the risk of unpaid work and cash flow problems.
