The Construction Training Fund was established in 1990 by an Act of Parliament to support the training of eligible people in the building and construction industry. Its goals are to improve the quality of training and increase the number of skilled workers in the building and construction industry.
Under the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990, the Construction Training Fund collects a small training levy from all construction projects in Western Australia. The funds received from the collection of the training levy go back to the industry to support training and skills development.
