We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation for potential impacts on our contractors and consultants. We will provide updates and information as they are made available.

View current advice for contractors and consultants (3 April 2020) (PDF, 162.6 KB)

All Property and Facilities Division (P&F) contractors and consultants working for UQ or on UQ sites must:

  • meet legislative requirements
  • follow regulatory health, safety and environmental obligations
  • comply with UQ policies and procedures
  • complete the P&F induction
  • have the relevant licenses and insurances.

P&F is solely responsible for engaging contractors to undertake maintenance work relating to UQ building fabric, structure and services. Schools and faculties should not act as a principal contractor or engage contractors to undertake building-related work.

Induction

All contractors must complete the induction and provide copies of:

  • their specific licences
  • workers compensation
  • third-party liability insurance.

If you employ staff who will be working with you, they must also complete the online induction.

You must complete the re-induction every year to remain a registered contractor at UQ. If the re-induction is not completed or the required forms are not forwarded to UQ, you will be removed from the contractor register.
