Primary and direct involvement means hands on construction work, where your main job tasks directly contribute to building or civil construction activities and you are personally performing construction work regularly and meaningfully as part of your role - not support, admin or coordination roles. 

​

CSQ funding covers construction, major renovation or new building work in the Queensland Building and Construction industry which includes residential and commercial projects, major projects and civil developments. 

​

But if you are doing work that involves maintaining or repairing existing structures and infrastructure to maintain their current condition, you would not be eligible for CSQ funding. Examples include replacing broken tiles or fixing minor roof leaks, fixing leaking pipes, replacing a window or repainting one room.

​

If you build or alter, extend or enhance structures beyond their regular upkeep doing the following interior or exterior installation services you would be an eligible worker for CSQ funding:

• ​air conditioning and refrigeration

• bricklaying and blocklaying

• brick and segmental paving

• cabinet making

• carpentry

• concreting

• installing fire doors, collars, penetrations, walls and ceilings

• installing glass, glazing and aluminium
