In partnership with Skills Insight, the Jobs and Skills Council, we help address workforce challenges, shape industry-led skills solutions, and deliver high-quality outcomes for the vocational education and training (VET) sector for Australia’s forest and timber industries. ForestWorks further strengthens skills development and VET outcomes through its support of the Industry Training Advisory Body (ITAB) in New South Wales and the Industry Advisory Group in Victoria. 

ForestWorks is an active voice in national workforce and skills discussions.  We translate industry insights into evidence-based workforce planning, policy advice, and practical solutions. 

Working across Australia’s forestry, timber, wood products, pulp and paper industries, ForestWorks helps identify current and future workforce needs, strengthen skills pipelines, and support sustainability and workforce capability.
