EWB's human-centred engineering movement aims to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are not left behind. EWB has swiftly responded to the flooding disaster in Timor-Leste that has created widespread damage and left 11,000 people displaced. With your help, we can build the capacity of local communities to manage their own engineering needs as a pathway to sustainable development.
Harnessing the potential of engineering to create an equitable reality for the planet and its people. Through partnership and collaboration, we've focused on developing skills, knowledge and appropriate engineering solutions for almost two decades. Redefining engineering pathways through real-world education and research programs, from Primary to PhD.

Our aim is that by 2030 more than 1,000,000 people will have equitable access to technology to live well and pursue their aspirations sustainably, as a clear result of our work. Our ten-year strategy from 2020-2030 outlines our plan to achieve this. EWB's Innovate RAP builds on our work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations, bringing consciousness reconciliation in all action and across every part of EWB.
EWB Australia's school initiatives deliver thematic learning modules to schools throughout Australia in metro (our "Schools Outreach" program) and regional (our "Regioneering" program) areas. Our focus is on embracing diversity and engaging Indigenous and female students as well as those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
Real design challenges developed with real communities. Develop the professional and practical design skills of students with this first step into professional engineering practice. Using comprehensive design briefs researched and prepared by EWB Australia and our network of community partners, students develop engineering solutions for real communities living in the countries within which we work.
The EWB Australia Humanitarian Design Summit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an immersive learning experience outside the classroom. Over 14 days, you'll push your boundaries, gain insights into best-practice community development, and appreciate the role engineering plays in creating positive change.
