Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) invests in training that supports the growth, capability and long-term sustainability of Queensland’s building and construction workforce. CSQ funding supports both nationally recognised and non-accredited training that addresses industry skills needs, responds to workforce demand, and helps build a safe, skilled and productive workforce.
Expressions of Interest
For the 2026-27 Expression of Interest (EOI) process, CSQ is seeking to expand its network of training providers:
- in regions where training access is limited or where additional delivery capacity is required or
- who can fill identified gaps in training delivery that are not currently adequately serviced by our existing network of training providers.
A key focus of this process is increasing the availability of training in priority regions, by partnering with suppliers who have:
- a strong local presence – located in the region,
- the capability to deliver training where workers live and work, and
- who are well connected and currently delivering training to workers in the Queensland Building Construction Industry.
Regions
CSQ is particularly interested in engaging providers that can improve access to training across the following priority regions:
CSQ Priority Regions:
- Central
- Darling Downs-Toowoomba
- Far North
- North West
- Northern
- Mackay-Whitsundays
- South West
- Sunshine Coast
- Wide Bay
CSQ invites Expressions of Interest from Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that can deliver quality training in priority regions and qualifications or course where there are identified gaps in service delivery or opportunities to improve accessibility for learners and employers.
