Awesome Women in Construction

Founded in Brisbane in 2017 by industry veteran Amanda Bulow, AWIC is a national, not-for-profit association empowering women across Australia’s construction sector. Born from a small networking breakfast, it has grown into a vibrant community that combats professional isolation, advocates for gender equity, and amplifies women’s voices in the industry.

Networking & Professional Events – Thousands of women attend AWIC gatherings such as the International Women’s Day Lunch, Annual Golf Day, AWIC Awards, and monthly meetups.

Advocacy & Education – Leading the charge against discrimination, AWIC educates future talent, raises awareness of opportunities, and promotes pathways into all sectors of construction.

Awarding Excellence – Since 2022, AWIC’s annual awards recognise outstanding contributions from tradespeople, leaders, apprentices, and employers across Australia.
