130,000 Tradies Needed — But They're Driving Ubers Instead

Australia’s Immigration System Is Failing the Building Industry
The Master Builders Association says 130,000 skilled workers are urgently needed in construction. Yet thousands of qualified tradies already living in Australia are stuck driving Ubers, stacking shelves, or working at servos — all because the immigration and visa system is broken.
Skilled Labour Is Here — But We’re Not Using It
Will Frogley, CEO of Master Builders SA, says many migrants with construction experience are being locked out of the industry. The result? Project delays, blown-out timelines, and employers hiring underqualified workers just to get jobs done.
This isn’t just bad policy — it’s economic sabotage.
