Allyship in Action under way

As the recipient of one of 10 Building Women's Careers (BWC) Program Stream One grants announced in February, NAWIC is well on its way to getting the Allyship in Action: Transforming Culture to Attract and Retain Women project up and running.

NAWIC was awarded a $5 million grant from the Federal Government's flagship BWC Program for our innovative project designed to engage specifically with men in the construction sector.

The funding supports the rollout of the project from April 2025 through to March 31, 2028.

The project is being delivered in partnership with ADCO, the Australian Workers Union, CPB Contractors, Holmesglen Institute, and the University of Sydney.

We recently appointed Mark Morris as our Allyship in Action Senior Project Manager.

At a Community of Practice meeting in Melbourne in June, we met with Minister for Skills and Training Andrew Giles, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations team and other BWC grant project managers.
