Australia’s construction sector urgently needs reform to create a fair and open market.

Recent actions against the CFMEU, including placing its branches into administration and reviewing its practices, have highlighted ongoing issues of intimidation and coercion faced by surveyors and other professionals.

Surveyors Australia has been actively advocating for change, pushing for a national overhaul of union rules to protect workers and ensure that job opportunities are based on merit, not union affiliation.

We remain committed to challenging unfair practices and fighting for a transparent, competitive industry where professionals can thrive without fear. It's time for real reform in Australia’s construction sector.
