Applications for the NSW Government Women in Construction Industry Innovation Program (IIP) are now open.

The NSW Government has allocated up to $10 million for the IIP to support a range of innovative pilot industry-led initiatives to break down barriers preventing women from considering a career in construction and support the retention of women within the sector.

Greater female representation across the construction industry will help to create a more inclusive, productive and diverse workforce, aim to address skill and labour shortages, and show future generations of women the range of career opportunities construction has to offer.

The IIP will run from 2022-2025. Successful applicants will be eligible to receive grants between $30,000 and $300,000 in the first year of funding. The funding has been capped to $300,000 in the first year to maximise the benefit and diversity of the IIP across the industry and support a range of pilot projects across the construction sector supply chain.

The NSW Government reserves the right to roll remaining funding from the first round of funding into future rounds.

An online Information Session will be held at 1pm on Wednesday 8 February 2023 to provide an overview of the grant funding opportunity. Attendees will be able to ask questions about the program and application process. 

Applications for funding close at 2pm on Wednesday 15 March 2023.
