Weld Australia 2 mins read

Segment-based structure maps benefits to real needs across the welding and manufacturing supply chain, delivering immediate savings and long-term impact.

Weld Australia has announced a new membership model designed around how Australia’s welding, fabrication and manufacturing sector really works. The refreshed, value-driven structure provides clearer pathways for corporates, industry suppliers and individual professionals, ensuring every member unlocks practical value from day one.

“As the peak body for welding, our purpose is simple: ensure Australian industry can not only compete, but grow and thrive,” said Geoff Crittenden, Chief Executive Officer, Weld Australia. “To this end, I’m excited to launch a new membership structure that reflects the needs of our members.”

“We’ve mapped benefits to real needs across the supply chain so every member—no matter their size or specialisation—sees tangible value immediately.”

“That value is tangible. Members gain immediate savings through discounts and offers, and ongoing returns through recognition, advocacy and community. Whether you’re aiming to win more work, improve margins, or attract and retain skilled people, this model is designed to help you get there faster,” said Crittenden.

"Weld Australia exists to help our members. That’s why our membership is designed to help you grow; to help you win more work; to help you be more profitable."

"Weld Australia membership opens the door to opportunity. Through our events and industry groups, you’ll find a community that collaborates to solve challenges."

"Our team is here to support your journey to excellence. We deliver: technical leadership; guidance on Standards and certification; world-class training and engineering; and resources that help you deliver a quality product."

"As your collective voice, we advocate with governments, standards bodies and decision-makers. We work to strengthen local content, and build a resilient, sovereign manufacturing industry."
