The Australian Constructors Association (ACA) has published its latest report highlighting progress made across the construction industry in 2024.
The 2024 Year in Review report reflects on ACA’s priorities, reform initiatives, advocacy efforts and thought leadership over the past year.
ACA President, Annabel Crookes, said, “It is a pivotal moment for the construction sector. While we have made significant progress in reform, increasingly challenging operating conditions could undo these gains. That’s why we need to push harder than ever.”
The report highlights key collaborative efforts, including the following:
- Construction Industry Culture Taskforce (CICT)
- Construction Industry Leadership Forum
- National Construction Industry Forum
- Defence Collab Initiative
ACA members have also made bold commitments to the future. By 2028, 75 per cent of members aim to be recognised by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency as ‘Employers of Choice.’ On top of this, the ACA is launching a unique campaign to attract more women into blue-collar roles.
ACA CEO, Jon Davies, said, “Now is the perfect time to reshape the industry,” said Mr Davies.
“If government, unions, and industry can truly work together, the entire sector will thrive. Instead of chasing short-term victories, we should focus on shared goals—like improving culture and boosting productivity. When we do that, everyone wins.”
