Building skilled, sustainable, and future-ready workforces across Australia’s fibre industries.
For many years, ForestWorks has proudly supported Australia’s forestry, timber, furnishing, and textile industries through industry leadership, workforce development, training advisory services, and strong partnerships across employers, unions, government, training providers, and workers.
As our industries have evolved, so too has the organisation behind this work.
We are proud to introduce FibreSkills Australia, a new organisational identity that better reflects the full breadth of the fibre industries we represent and the connected supply chains that underpin Australia’s future manufacturing and sustainability capability.
While our organisation’s name has recently changed, our specialist industry divisions remain unchanged and continue to sit at the centre of our work.
Supporting the forestry, forest management, timber, and wood products industries.
Supporting the furniture, cabinetry, glass and glazing, flooring, and interior design industries.
Supporting the textiles, clothing, and footwear industries.
These divisions remain critical to how we operate and engage with industry.
They provide focused leadership, specialist expertise, and direct engagement tailored to the unique needs of each sector.
