What is the AWCR?

The AWCR was developed and is managed by Weld Australia. It provides a national framework for qualifying and testing welders to International Standard AS/NZS ISO 9606-1. It:

• Allows qualified and certified Registered Welders (RW) to be able to work on any site without further testing resulting in a significant cost saving to industry.
• Provides industry with access to a database of welders with up to date certification and details of their career history.
• Generates data for a skills gap analysis which will allow the development of a detailed suite of training initiatives to upskill the workforce.
• Runs on the WeldQ platform; a fully internet enabled cloud based system with a supporting mobile app.
