NAWIC FACTS 👷‍♀️ Did you know women and girls make up just over half (50.7%) of the Australian population? At NAWIC, we pride ourselves in being an advocate for positive change for women in construction & related industries.

NAWIC congratulates Simon Butt on his recent appointment as President of Master Builders Australia. We look most forward to working with Simon and MBA to further strengthen the cooperation of our associations and to advance, champion and empower men and women in our industry.

Congratulations Victoria for addressing the gender imbalance common across the building sector and for recognising the essential role of females in non-traditional roles. This is a game-changer! vic.gov.au/victorias-wome… #genderequality #genderdiversity #danielandrews #nawic
