“She Builds The Future has been created to offer the youngest Tasmanians inspiration about the building industry, along with supporting school leavers to learn more about the careers they can consider,” said Stuart Collins, HIA Executive Director Tasmania.
“The She Builds The Future website provides practical information aimed at empowering women to navigate and seize the vast range of opportunities in the building industry.
“At the heart of this program is the Australian edition of The House that She Built, which tells the story of a group of women that come together to imagine, design and build a new home.
“The book aims to educate young readers about the people and skills that go into building a home.
“With women making up approximately 15 per cent of the construction workforce and even less in the trades, programs like She Builds The Future, HIA Building Women and BuildHer are critical in addressing the skills shortages by increasing female participation and improving diversity.
“HIA is currently working with the Minister for Women and Education along with the Department for Education, Children and Young People to distribute The House that She Built books and implement the program in all primary schools and K-12 district schools in Tasmania,” concluded Mr Collins.

New rules add thousands to the cost of a new home as Tasmania falls years behind on housing
From today, every new home built in Tasmania must meet the full Livable Housing Design requirements. The Housing Industry Association says this adds thousands of dollars to the cost of building a home, at a time when Tasmanians can least afford it.
Rules for managing the risk of falls have changed - are you up to date?
Changes to Western Australia's requirements for managing the risks of falls will commence on 1 October 2026, introducing new expectations for builders, contractors and workers undertaking tasks where there is a risk of falling.
Livable Housing Design: final stage now in force
As of today, 1 October 2026, all new building work in Tasmania, unless exempt, must comply with all requirements of Part H8 Livable Housing Design of NCC Volume Two.
ACT housing approvals slump puts 2030 target under pressure
“The ACT’s housing supply pipeline is weakening, with building approvals in the three months to August halving compared with a year earlier,” said HIA Executive Director ACT and Southern NSW, Geordan Murray.
