Good for 

Jobs

The CFMEU WA is proud to have helped create thousands of well-paid jobs for hard working locals. In fact, the construction industry’s share of total employment in WA is 10%. Plus our apprenticeships and skills training opportunities are key to building our next generation of workers.

Good for the 

economy

Every year, the construction industry contributes billions of dollars to the WA economy, which helps to fund our hospitals, our schools and our roads. Currently, our members are working on critical projects like the new ECU campus, the Homefire Film Studios and the $6 billion Perdaman Urea Plant.

Good for 

safety

Through our efforts, deadly asbestos, lead, engineered stone and formaldehyde in MDF have been banned in building materials, so more workers make it home safely to their families. Plus, we fought and secured industrial Manslaughter laws to hold negligent employers accountable, because safety is our priority every day.

The CFMEU WA has a clear vision for the future. Good for WA, Good for Jobs and Good for the Economy. Their success is evident in the engagement and support of their members, who are instrumental in building this great state.

In a tough industry, they take pride in the exceptional work they have done. A glance across the Perth foreshore reveals that nearly every skyscraper was union-built—quality-built. The same can be said for the massive resource projects in the northwest and renewable projects in the southwest, as well as major infrastructure projects throughout WA.

Just about every major hospital, shopping centre, and sports stadium in WA has been constructed by CFMEU WA members. Along the way, they have created thousands of well-paid jobs and provided valuable apprenticeship and skills training opportunities, all of which have contributed significantly to the growth of the WA economy.

Equally important, the CFMEU WA has worked tirelessly to improve safety on sites in this extremely dangerous industry, ensuring that workers return home safe every day—a positive outcome for everyone. Whether it's championing safe working conditions, fighting for fair wages, or providing essential support and resources, the CFMEU WA stands by its members, now and always. Their commitment is not just for today but for the long haul. They are dedicated to making a lasting impact and driving positive change that benefits everyone. In essence, the CFMEU WA is here for good.

Together, we can ensure the future of W.A. remains safe. Add your name today.
