The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, Construction and General Division, is the major union in Australia's building and construction industry. The construction industry is one of Australia's largest and most valuable industries.
Construction is a project based industry.
The typical construction site will often have four layers of management and control, including the developer, project manager, and sub-contractors. The construction industry workforce is highly mobile, both in terms of changing locations and employers. The Committee pointed out at the time that there was a limited amount of statistical data and research on the topic. Due to this we can not state how many WHM visa holders are working in the construction industry. We can not point to comprehensive data on the level of compliance with visa conditions amongst this group.
