Abstract: Abstract With the massive investments on the infrastructure over the coming years in Australia, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become a one of the priorities in managing these massive projects. Over the next fifteen-year period, Australia focuses on 121 national significant infrastructure proposals worth of 58 billion dollars, to deliver best outcomes for Australia’s growing communities. Yet, Australia has a long way to go prior to mandating BIM national wide. There has been a visible rise in BIM adoption within the last couple of years, yet there are many speculations for the future and lot of discussion on the actual standpoint in BIM in Australia. Integrating innovative learning models with major advances in collaborative construction methods will help keep Australia abreast of this massive technological development. BIM will unlock new and more efficient ways of working, putting the world in a new digital construction era. Therefore, this review papers intends to focus on the current status of BIM in Australia for adopting it in infrastructure projects. Initially, this research identified the adoption of BIM in Australian context. Based on this analysis, this research study identified the status quo of BIM implementation in Australia and the steps that should be initiated in order to pave the way toward a smooth adoption of BIM in infrastructure projects in Australian context.
