SpeakUP BuildUP
Feb 14, 2024
The SpeakUP BuildUP campaign by the VRQA is aimed at protecting the rights of women and non-binary apprentices in building and construction. Through this campaign, the VRQA are working to ensure that all women and non-binary apprentices are treated with respect and receive the quality training that all apprentices should receive.
As an apprentice, your employers need to provide:
- a safe workplace
- appropriate supervision
- access to the tools and equipment they need to learn the skills for the qualification being studied.
If this is not happening the VRQA can help.
To get help:
- call the BuildUP hotline on (03) 7022 5888
- email BuildUp at BuildUP@education.vic.gov.au.
The hotline is open 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
Callers can leave a message at any time and can remain anonymous.
