Our Partners
The South Pacific Welding Federation is a collaborative initiative brought to life through the partnership of three key organisations: Weld Australia, the Heavy Engineering Research Association (HERA), and TAFE Queensland.
Each of these organisations brings a wealth of expertise, resources, and a shared vision for the future of welding in the South Pacific.
Weld Australia
Weld Australia represents the welding profession in Australia. Its members are made up of individual welding professionals and companies of all sizes.
