Government’s 10% Training Policy



The 10% Training Policy is a major Government initiative designed to improve the levels of workforce development on major State Government funded building and construction projects. The primary purpose of the policy is to ensure that 10% of all labour hours worked on an eligible project come from individuals engaged in structured training, culminating in an accredited qualification.

Who does the policy apply to?

The 10% Training Policy applies to all government- funded building and construction projects over $250,000 for building and over $500,000 for civil.

How to comply

1. Register your project with Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ).  

2. Provide CSQ with a Compliance Plan within 10 working days of the date of acceptance of the tender.

3. Ensure that the project employs sufficient apprentices, trainees, cadets, or Indigenous workers and/or implements a training program aimed at up-skilling the workers on site. Talk to us for all your training needs.

4. The principal contractor must track and report on the apprentices, trainees, cadets and/or Indigenous workers engaged on the project. The principal contractor must also record up-skilling of existing on-site workers (recognised national qualifications only). Note: This is up to a maximum of 25% of the deemed training hours. We work closely with our clients to ensure a clear outline of all training accreditation acquired and provide this information to you so it is easy for you to keep track of this requirement.

5. Eligible apprentices, trainees, cadets, Indigenous workers or existing workers can be employed directly by the principal contractor, subcontractor, or be accessed through a group scheme or government agency such as Building and Asset Services.

6. Provide CSQ with a completed Interim Compliance Report after each 13 weeks of the construction phase.

7. Provide CSQ with a completed Practical Completion Report within 15 days of the date of practical completion.
