At JWLand, we don’t just build communities – we get involved by supporting activities and organisations that contribute to their success and wellbeing.
Among the productive partnerships we have established are the following programs that benefit our workforce, our industry and the wider community.
JWLand is committed to supporting inclusiveness and diversity in the construction industry. That’s why we’re proud to continue our sponsorship of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), a not-for-profit organisation that empowers women and their allies across diverse backgrounds and career stages. NAWIC fosters connections in the ACT and across the wider community with initiatives including mentoring, programs in schools and a range of events to celebrate member’s achievements.
The Australian Brain Cancer Foundation (ABCF) was founded in Canberra in 2024 to address a critical gap in brain cancer care, awareness, and treatment. Among its initiatives is the Canberra Brain Cancer Support Team, which addresses the unique needs of cancer patients post-diagnosis. JWLand is proud to be a Founding Ambassador for this important organisation as it works to provide tangible, direct assistance to brain cancer patients and their families, and supports ground-breaking research in this challenging field.
It’s a little-known fact that suicide rates among construction workers are way above the national average. In 2023, we established a partnership with national firm Foremind, introducing a comprehensive mental health program tailored for workers on our construction sites. This initiative offers a go-to resource for support, an App that connects workers to a range of online resources or a counsellor – by phone, online, or face-to-face, all confidential and free of charge.

JWLand is a proud sponsor of the annual Bob Huddleston Community Golf Day, which is presented by the Burrunju Aboriginal Corporation. Founded by the late Bob Huddleston, the Corporation delivers culturally-appropriate programs to improve the resilience and the wellbeing of the local Aboriginal community. Each year the organisation chooses a different focus for their golf day. In 2024 the primary objective was to raise awareness for diabetes within the Indigenous community.
JWLand is continuing to support female participation in sport by sponsoring Sally Wickson, a promising talent in the Molonglo Juggernauts Football Club women’s team. Sally has been making waves at her club, and with her remarkable skills, she is expected to be a key player for the Juggernauts in the 2025 season. By aligning with the club, JWLand is both supporting local sports and connecting with a broad audience from the ACT community and beyond.
In 2025, JWLand has become a VIP sponsor of the Canberra Croatia Football Club (CCFC). Founded in 1958, CCFC is one of the most successful sporting clubs in the ACT, with many championships to its name. The club actively promotes junior, youth and senior participation for men and women and provides an environment that nurtures learning, development and team spirit. There is a particular focus on fostering the growth of younger players to equip them for success in life as well as in football.
Our local ice-hockey team, the Canberra Brave has packed stadiums and achieved finals appearances eight times since the founding of the club in 2014. The club has been named CBR Team of the Year three times, including in 2024. As a rink sponsor, JWLand is delighted to be part of the Brave’s exciting new era as it moves to a new venue at the AIS Arena in 2025. The state-of-the-art venue marks a giant step forward for the club and for the future of Australian ice hockey.
In July 2024, JWLand was proud to sponsor the launch of a new children’s picture book, “Marvellous Miles”, written by JWLand’s Development Manager, Sarah Watts. The book aims to help young kids understand epilepsy. This touching story is close to Sarah’s heart and sets out to normalise a condition that affects around one in 200 Australian children. The hero of the book is a brave lion named Miles and his story helps to explain a complex condition that remains a mystery to many.
Our annual support for Movember began in 2021 and has seen the faces of many JWLand employees transformed by unfamiliar facial hair. The charity fundraiser has a focus on men’s health – particularly on mental health and suicide prevention as well as prostate and testicular cancer. It now has a global footprint and has raised money for more than 1,250 men’s health projects since its beginnings in 2003.
