About Us
Women in Aviation Australian Chapter (WAI Australia) is a chapter of the internationally recognised organisation, Women in Aviation International (WAI).
WAI Australia was established in 2015 and is a non for profit organisation led and run by a dedicated team of volunteers.
We are a community of passionate people dedicated to making a difference in the world. We commit to this by connecting, engaging and inspiring the next generation of aviation and aerospace professionals, as well as providing platforms to enable current industry participants to develop and excel in their chosen fields.
We know girls and women must be excited, informed and supported to pursue their aviation dreams. To accomplish this, WAI Australia offers a variety of initiatives and resources that provide meaningful opportunities for students, women and industry to connect.
We encourage and facilitate pathways for girls and women to seek out and pursue opportunities in the aviation and aerospace sectors, and to highlight the contributions of pioneering girls and women in aviation throughout history and today.
The Australian Chapter is able to achieve all that they do through the ongoing and continuous support of a broad community, which includes our corporate and individual members, industry, academia and educational institutions. We all collaborate to inspire and make change.
