Who are we?
Established in 2017, the Construction Industry Leadership Forum is a collaboration between the Australian Constructors Association and the NSW, Victorian and Queensland governments.
Our purpose is to improve the effectiveness and value of the procurement and delivery of government infrastructure programs. Through this forum, government and industry are working together to set a common agenda for change, share knowledge and set a program of activities to resolve commercial and contractual issues and address capability and capacity constraints. As such, we have established three workstreams with a focus on: value for money, procurement reform and capability and capacity.
Recognising the importance of the industry’s culture, the Construction Industry Leadership Forum launched the Culture In Construction initiative in 2021. Through this initiative we have developed a new Culture Standard to not only lift the productivity and performance of construction but address the major issues holding back our industry – excessive work hours and fatigue, poor mental health, and failure to attract a diverse workforce.
We are proud to bring government and industry together to bring about important improvements to help create a more sustainable industry that all of Australia will benefit from.

“The NSW Government is committed to ongoing collaboration with industry as the state emerges from COVID-19 and continues to deliver its unprecedented infrastructure program. The Construction Industry Leadership Forum is critical to the success of the NSW Government Action Plan and to fostering a thriving construction sector.“
Simon Draper
Infrastructure NSW
“We are working together today as part of the Construction Industry Leadership Forum to build a thriving construction industry for the future. As we deliver Victoria’s largest infrastructure program, it has never been more important to work in partnership with industry to drive the cultural changes needed to set our industry on a more sustainable path.”
Corey Hannett
Major Transport Infrastructure Authority
“The Queensland Government relies on the construction industry for the delivery of its significant and growing infrastructure program, which will include projects associated with the staging of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Construction Industry Leadership Forum provides the Queensland Government with a platform to collaborate with industry and other jurisdictions to further industry productivity objectives and respond to issues such as infrastructure market capacity constraints.“
