The content on the Business Victoria website will continue to be updated as further clarifications become necessary and we encourage all members to continually check this key reference site on a regular basis.

The focus and further work of the Building & Construction Industry Working Group is now being directed towards what a “Return to Work” strategy might look like.  CCF would like to assure members that there is continuous engagement with Government with a view to facilitating the best scenarios and outcomes for the industry under current circumstances.
