Get FSC accredited faster, with the team the FSC trusts to help you.
Australian Industry Group currently provides FREE guidance and resources for builders to get ready for the Federal Safety Commission’s (FSC) WHS Accreditation.

- Get over $40,000 worth of resources free with the SafeReady support package.
Both free.

More FCS accredited builders are needed for the multi-billion dollar pipeline of social and affordable housing.
Housing Australia Future Fund Round 3 is now active — opening a multi-billion-dollar pipeline of government-funded social and affordable housing projects for Tier 2 builders.
To tender for head contracts on any Australian Government-funded construction project valued at $4 million or more, builders need FSC WHS Accreditation. It’s the entry requirement, not an optional credential.
The government wants more builders to be FSC accredited but accreditation isn’t fast. Most builders take months to prepare their safety management system, complete the audits, and reach approval. Starting early matters.

The help we received from Australian Industry Group saved us months of work and the relationship with our staff.
The biggest help was guidance on consulting with our staff to introduce our new FSC-aligned safety standards. A change we didn’t roll-out as well as we could have. Australian Industry Group’s experience with supporting businesses was clear and very welcome.
