Contractor Membership



CCF WA Contractor membership ensures your business is part of the industry's united voice on civil contracting matters. When we speak with one voice, we are heard.

CCF WA's 2022-2023 Activity Report summarises key activities and outcomes achieved in FY 2022/23, performing our role of representing, informing and connecting the Western Australian civil construction industry. 

Read the 2022-2023 Activity Report


Some of our previous achievements include:

  • CCF WA secured significant amendments to a new WA-specific WHS Regulation requiring all excavator operators performing lifting tasks to possess a crane operator licence. The regulator has granted a 2-year transition period and reduced the scope of the licensing requirement. 
  • We achieved apprenticeship status for the Certificate III in Civil Construction, Plant Operations, and Trenchless Technology. The immediate benefits of this include a payroll tax exemption for employers and increased funding for RTOs; longer-term, it will greatly improve the perception of trade-level careers in civil.
  • We successfully advocated for ‘existing worker’ funding for the Certificate IV in Civil Construction Supervision, saving employers thousands of dollars on training fees.
  • We provided accurate and timely advice to Industry on complying with Public Health Directions.
  • We secured clarification from the Chief Health Officer that all civil construction works were to be regarded as ‘essential’ for the purposes of the Critical Worker Directions.
  • We secured emergency measures to address recent unprecedented cost escalation in construction contracts.
  • We have delivered our Women in Civil Mentoring Program to 70 participants.
  • The launch of significant new member benefits such as discounted fees on bank guarantees, and free access to a wide range of template HSEQ policies and forms.


Representation and Advocacy

CCF WA works closely with state and local governments, and key private sector clients, to address key issues and improve the operating environment for members. We have strong networks and access to key decision makers at major infrastructure delivery agencies.

Our advocacy to government is focused on:

  • Increasing opportunities for civil contractors by promoting the benefits of infrastructure investment
  • Promoting sustainable procurement policies that ensure opportunities for contractors of all sizes
  • Reducing red tape in the form of excessive government regulation, onerous contracts and pre qualifications
  • Ensuring a ‘fair go’ for all contractors through open and transparent tendering and procurement

CCF WA is committed to ensuring the civil construction industry is professionally represented. It does this by:

  • Consulting with members to understand the key issues affecting the industry, and developing policies on these issues.
  • Representing the industry on government and industry panels and working groups and responding to government reviews/inquiries.
  • Advocating on behalf of the civil construction industry directly to all levels of government through various channels on a range of issues.
  • Promoting our vision of a strong, fair and sustainable civil construction sector to the community and industry stakeholders.
  • Being the ‘voice of the industry’ through media and social media channels and through our own publications.

A Message from the CEO

Thank you for considering CCF WA membership. I hope you will join around 200 Western Australian civil contractors and suppliers to the industry, each of them committed to CCF WA’s vision of a strong, fair and sustainable civil construction industry.

Our membership covers the spectrum from publicly listed companies and household names to contractors just starting on the road to success. We strive to be valuable and relevant to all members, regardless of size and experience. This flyer captures a sense of the wide scope of our member services.

From an advocacy perspective, every additional CCF WA member is valuable as each makes our voice as an industry body that little bit stronger. The larger our numbers, the greater authority we have with government and the more we can do for the industry. CCF WA is regarded within government as the “go-to” body for civil construction issues, and your membership will help reinforce that view. As a member, you will also benefit directly from our strong relationships and influence within infrastructure procurement agencies.

Regards,

Andy Graham
Chief Executive Officer, CCF WA
