Acknowledgement of country

Wamarra acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands upon which we work, live and socialise. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who we recognise as Australia’s First Peoples whose cultural practices continue today.

We know that diverse voices and experiences make us stronger. We create spaces where everyone feels seen, values and supported – where you can be yourself at work.

Through inclusive pathways and training programs, we not only open doors for people who may not have a traditional entry into the construction industry but also tailored up-skilling training - helping you grow, belong and succeed.
