During his press conference today, Premier Daniel Andrews took the time to thank Master Builders Victoria, other industry associations, unions and organisations for their support in getting the message across about staying at home if you’re feeling unwell. Master Builders Victoria has collaborated with many organisations to ensure we have a unified message and protocols for our industry which, so far, has resulted in it being safer from the threat of COVID-19 than the rest of our community.
 
So, that thanks from the Premier must be passed on to all our members and their employees who have listened to those messages and adhered to the Guidelines.
 
Thanks must also go to the following organisations who Master Builders Victoria has worked with as part of this industry effort;  the Australian Institute of Building, Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union, Air Conditioning & Mechanical Contractors Association, Australian Workers Union, CFMEU, Civil Contractors Federation, Electrical Trades Union, Master Plumbers, Prefab Aus, National Fire Industry Association, National Electrical and Communications Association, Plumbing and Pipe Trades Employees Union, Property Council of Australia and the Urban Development Institute of Australia.   
 
We’ll continue to collaborate with industry stakeholders and the government as we move through this challenging period to ensure our industry operates safely, as the backbone of Victoria’s economy.
