We are excited to be partnering once again on the Women in Construction, Engineering & Infrastructure Summit for 2025. This year's Summit aligns with our 30th anniversary – with our theme of ‘Better Together’ – which reflects the collective strength and shared commitment needed to create a fair, inclusive and respectful industry.
 
With the construction sector facing the most acute skills shortages we are barely touching the full talent pool with only 12.4% women overall, and only 3.4% representation of women in the trades. The challenges that women face – from gender bias and microaggressions to limited career progression – are not isolated issues; they are industry-wide problems that requires a broad-scale shift in how the sector operates.
 
At NAWIC, we are focused on supporting and transforming the sector through bold, collective efforts. That means empowering women at all stages of their careers, equipping organisations to build inclusive workplaces, and engaging male allies and decision-makers to rise alongside us. We’re also proud to contribute 10% of event proceeds to the Tradeswomen Australia Foundation, to further our shared vision of inclusive and sustainable employment pathways for women.
 
For the past three decades, we have advocated, educated, and built a thriving community of women and allies across construction.  We invite you to engage fully, share openly, and rise together with us.

We look forward to seeing you in Naarm | Melbourne this August
