Welcome to NAWIC

At The National Association of Women In Construction (NAWIC) we welcome women in construction, and their allies, from all walks of life, cultures, ages and career stages. Our members work in remote and regional locations, in the city, by the coast, on farms and in factories, as sole traders and in large commercial and government enterprises and infrastructure. NAWIC members work onsite on the tools, in the office and a hybrid of these, are apprentices, business backbones, male allies and CEO’s and everything in between. A not-for-profit and the Peak Body championing the diverse collective of great people doing great work in construction.

We rise together. 

Chapters

 

Allyship in Action

Every man has a role in building a safer, more respectful construction industry.

Allyship in Action is an innovative project featuring four programs designed to drive cultural change across the construction industry. From equipping men to be active allies and delivering tailored training for site-based environments, to pairing men with women as career sponsors and building a network of cultural ambassadors across all genders, the project takes a whole-of-industry approach to embedding inclusive, respectful culture that sticks.
