Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
HIA’s Position Statement
- Everyone working in the residential building industry, regardless of their background, should be given the opportunity to succeed in their career of choice. HIA supports efforts to increase diversity, equity and inclusiveness of the residential building industry workforce.
- HIA will work constructively with all levels of government in the development and implementation of measures that support the cultural change that seeks to improve diversity, equity and inclusiveness within the residential building industry.
- HIA will work proactively with its members to develop and implement measures that seek to improve diversity, equity and inclusiveness within the building industry workforce.
Background
The construction industry workforce has become more diverse in recent years, the industry stands to benefit if further change can be accelerated to increase the diversity, equity and inclusivity of the industry.
Improving diversity within the workforce inherently opens the door to a larger pool of individuals to meet industry’s labour force needs.
Workforce diversity has been shown to improve the quality of decision making and improve innovation, which combine to improve productivity. Greater workforce diversity will benefit businesses within the housing industry and higher performing businesses will benefit the housing industry and Australian economy more broadly.
Efforts to improve diversity begin with attracting people from a wider range of backgrounds to consider the career opportunities within the housing industry. These efforts must be fortified by efforts to create an inclusive environment that enables people from more diverse backgrounds with opportunities to succeed/thrive in the industry.
HIA supports efforts and will work with all levels of government and industry to encourage cultural change and broaden opportunities for all individuals to work and prosper in the residential building industry.

Minimum tax on discretionary trusts discussion paper
HIA took the following broad position on the Australian Government’s minimum tax on discretionary trusts consultation paper: if Treasury's own analysis concludes these tax measures increase the cost of doing business and require separate policies to offset their effects and offer restructuring relief, it is difficult to justify the objective of implementing this high minimum tax rate on discretionary trusts.
