The National Workers Memorial celebrates the vital contribution and achievement of Australian workers to the building of this nation.

The Memorial features a series of tall, slender columns representing the contributions and sacrifice of workers from each state and territory in Australia. From each column, concentric ripples radiate out until they intersect to create a public plaza. This ripple effect acknowledges the profound impact work-related loss has on communities and families.

A website has been developed to link with the Memorial, providing an online space for family and community members to interact and find more information about work health and safety issues.
