The construction industry warns the federal government's goal of building 1.2 million new well-located homes in the next five years will begin on the back foot because of a significant worker shortage.

The government's goal of building 1.2 million new well-located homes in the next five years begins mid-year.

The government's five-year target, part of the National Housing Accord agreed to by the states and territories, begins mid-year. Master Builders Australia chief executive Denita Wawn said the analysis by BuildSkills aligned with what she was hearing from the industry. "Only four per cent of apprentices at the moment are female, yet we complain in this country that we have gender pay-gap problems," Ms Wawn said.

Mr Sobyra agreed that while the analysis from BuildSkills put into focus "how ambitious the target is," it was still possible.
