Multiple outlets report that Perth and regional Western Australia are at the top of Australia’s tradie shortage lists. The coverage across Brisbane Times, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age identifies bricklayers and tilers as the trades most difficult to source. The articles present the staffing gap as part of a broader national shortage affecting construction and related work, but note that demand is most acute in Western Australia compared with other parts of the country. While the stories focus on the geographic pattern—Perth and regional WA leading the shortage—they converge on the same specific trades, highlighting bricklayers and tilers as the hardest roles to fill. The reporting does not attribute the shortage to a single cause, but consistently frames it as an availability problem affecting the construction workforce. Overall, the sources agree on where the shortage is most pronounced and which trades are most impacted, with Western Australia’s construction sector facing the greatest difficulty finding suitable workers.
