The 2024 Statutory Review of the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990
Overview
The Building and Construction Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990 (the Act) is an Act to establish a fund to be used to improve the quality of training and to increase the number of skilled persons in the building and construction industry, to establish a Building and Construction Industry Training Board to administer the fund and to collect the building and construction industry training levy, and for connected purposes.
The Building and Construction Industry Training Fund trades as the Construction Training Fund (CTF). The CTF operates under the Act and was established on the 1 July 1991 to collect a training levy on all construction projects where the total value of construction is over $20,000. The CTF assists the construction industry to meet its demands for skilled workers by channeling revenue generated from the levy into structured programs that reduce the costs of training for eligible industry workers.
In accordance with Section 32 (1) of the Act, the Minister for Training and Workforce Development is required to carry out a review of the Act’s operation and effectiveness. Section 32 of the Act establishes broad terms of reference for the review, each of which should include specific areas of interest or consideration which are listed in the Terms of Reference for the review.
The Minister has appointed an independent Chair, Mr Tom Dixon, to undertake the Review. Ms Kylie Armstrong has been appointed as the Executive Officer of the Review.
