A Year in Review While 2022 presented challenges such as supply chain issues and skilled labour shortages, Australia’s welding industry has continued to go from strength to strength. In fact, our 2022 Member Survey indicated that most fabrication businesses have a very strong pipeline of work, capacity for additional work, and rate the prospects of their business as strong.

Weld Australia members continue to lead the way in innovation, environmental sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and health and safety. We are extremely proud to be your peak body.

DOWNLOAD THE YEAR IN REVIEW

We’ve been busy behind the scenes at Weld Australia too. Our advocacy work paid dividends this year. Focused on issues such as skill shortages, onshoring and local content procurement, renewable energy and adherence to quality standards, we generated significant media coverage and political interest. As we acclimatised to the ‘new normal’ in a postCOVID world, our calendar of in-person events returned across the country. We also hosted a very successful and much expanded program of Welding Excellence Awards.

Our training department went from strength to strength, with over 600 students completing courses this year. Our work on the MEM2.0 project with the National TAFE Consortium continued, with pilot programs run in Western Australia. We expanded our Advanced Manufacturing School Outreach Program in New South Wales significantly, with over 80 welding simulators installed in more than 40 schools. Finally, our VET Centre of Excellence program with Corrections Victoria at HM Prison Langi Kal Kal commenced and is already returning great results.

It’s the ongoing support from members that allows us to continue advocating for the welding industry in Australia, and we wholeheartedly thank you for your role in that this year. We hope you continue your support in 2023.

Weld Australia membership is an investment in the success of your career or your business. We will help you increase your income, decrease your costs and give you a competitive advantage over non-members.
