What is the Women Building Surveyors Program?
The Victorian Government has allocated $6.3 million over two financial years to give women the opportunity to train to become building surveyors within local government.

The Women Building Surveyors Program will allow 40 successful candidates from Victorian councils to begin the pathway to becoming a Municipal Building Surveyor (MBS).
It will support women to either commence a new career or transition their existing career within local government to the pathway of building surveying.

This initiative aims to address a workforce shortage and contribute to Victoria’s economic recovery through supporting construction and community infrastructure stimulus measures.

This funding and with the support from Council will provide you the opportunity to complete a 2 Year advanced diploma of Building Surveying (CPC60115).
Graduates of the Advanced Diploma can qualify and work as level 2 building surveyors and can undertake further study if they wish to become a registered Building Surveyor – Unlimited.

This position will commence in February 2021 - potential for a mid year course commencement
