There are a two state government policies and schemes that apply to construction projects.These are:
Priority Start Policy
The Priority Start Policy aims to provide more opportunities for apprentices and trainees on major Western Australian Government funded building, construction and maintenance contracts.
If you are a head contractor on a government contract valued over $5 million (including GST), you (and any subcontractors working on the contract with you) will be required to meet a target training rate. More information on this policy is available on the Department of Training and Workforce Development’s website.
