BESA National Agreement
The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) National Agreement, not only sets clear employment standards for employers who follow it, it also brings a wide range of valuable employee benefits designed to protect and support your workforce and their families.
Through this agreement, employers can offer a comprehensive benefits package that goes beyond the basics – helping to attract talent, improve retention, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing.
What’s Included:
A lump sum payable upon death from any cause.

Financial protection during medically certified absences, keeping workers secure when they’re unwell or recovering.


Benefits are paid from discretionary trust funds, with Welplan acting as the Corporate Trustee. All claims are paid entirely at Welplan’s discretion.
