Back to housing and workplace minister Murray Watt and housing minister Clare O’Neil are reupping last year’s budget announcement that the process for builders to receive their accreditation will be fast tracked. From their release:

As more workers are skilled up, the Albanese Government has made it simpler and quicker for builders to get on with the job. The application process has been streamlined to prioritise builders aiming to work on Housing Australia projects, with greater support and guidance from expert WHS auditors.

…“The changes we made after last year’s Budget have resulted in newly accredited residential builders gaining accreditation in an average of four months, compared to the previous average application period of 12 months,” Minister Watt said.
