As of 31 October 2024, the Governor of South Australia has proclaimed the Construction Industry Training Fund (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act 2024 (“the CITF Amendment Act 2024”), officially bringing it into operation.
Starting from 1 January 2025, certain provisions will take effect, specifically:
The CITF Amendment Act 2024 introduces the following changes to levy calculations:
Date of Development Approval / Commencement of Construction | CITF Act & Regulations Applicable | Levy Threshold Applicable | GST | Exemptions |

The current FY2024-25 Annual Training Plan will remain in place until 30 June 2025.
Over the coming year, the CITB will resolve transitional arrangements required by the CITF Amendment Act 2024, including the development of a three-year training plan and a shift to a calendar-year cycle. These changes are essential to creating a sustainable, transparent, flexible, and responsive funding framework aligned with the priorities of the building and construction industry.
