As the peak body for welding in this country, our purpose is simple: lift capability, quality and safety across the entire sector, so Australian fabrication and manufacturing can compete, grow and thrive.
Our membership structure is built for how industry really works. We’ve mapped benefits to real needs, so every member—no matter your size or specialisation—unlocks practical value from day one.
That value is tangible. Members can access immediate savings through discounts and a growing ecosystem of special offers through industry suppliers. Your membership opens the door to technical leadership: guidance on Australian Standards and compliance, certification readiness, CPD pathways, and best-practice resources that help you do the job right the first time. Our team is here to support your journey to excellence.
Tangible Value. Real Results.
Through our events, forums and working groups, you’ll find a community that shares knowledge generously and collaborates to solve real-world challenges. And as your collective voice, we advocate with governments, standards bodies and major procurers to strengthen local content, lift performance, and build a resilient, sovereign manufacturing base.
Whatever your aim is to grow your business, develop your people, or deliver to the highest standards, we’re here to help you make it happen. Join us, and let’s build a stronger future for Australian welding, together.
