Pipeline certainty, occupational mobility, national coordination, and a “digital by default” approach can uncover efficiencies, drive economic growth and support a thriving knowledge-led professional services sector, says Consult Australia’s Head of Policy and Government Relations, Kristy Eulenstein.
“Our members design the future. With every design, advisory and engineering service provided by our membership, there is a positive impact on job growth, community connectivity and economic productivity,” Kristy says.
“Our members are also vital contributors to the construction industry, which faces intractable productivity challenges unless we address barriers to confidence, mobility, collaboration and learning.”
The opportunity for governments to deliver a broader legacy from their current investments is substantial, Kristy says. This starts by better utilising the thriving knowledge-led professional services sector which supports the broader construction and infrastructure supply chain.
