In terms of value addition, the construction sector in Australia accounts for 8% of the nation’s GDP, making it the third largest industry after mining and banking, according to AI Group Economics Research (2015).

There is always a demand for more space and infrastructure, including buildings, as well as other infrastructure like roads, railroads, towers, etc., because of the growing population and the influx of newcomers.

• Deconstructing
• Constructing
• Renovating
• Reconstructing
• Alternating
• Relocating
• Demolishing
• Maintaining & Repairing

Students taking up Building & Construction courses may work for construction, maintenance and repair of:

• Roads

Pathway to Australian Permanent Residency

Building and construction, one of Australia’s biggest sectors, provides graduates with a variety of prospects. Additionally, graduates from this sector are frequently in great demand.

Students can apply for a Temporary Graduate visa as graduates in Building & Construction. These visas allow students to remain temporarily in Australia while also continuing their education and employment. They are permitted to stay for two (2) years after completing their study, depending on their areas of specialisation. They might gain relevant local work experience in this way, which could help them obtain permanent residency in Australia.

These positions are continuously listed on the Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL) and Skilled Occupations List (SOL) due to the growing need for graduates from the Building and Construction curriculum. Project Builder, Bricklayer, Construction Project Manager, Surveyor, and First Class Welder are a few of the positions listed.
