About AWCC

Australian Well Control Centre: Australian Well Control Centre (AWCC) was founded by experienced drilling professionals with a mission to enhance the oil and gas industry through premium well control training. Recognising the sector’s dynamic nature, AWCC combines IWCF/IADC accreditation, nationally recognised training, and instruction by operational experts to deliver integrated and professional training tailored to the industry’s evolving needs.

With purpose design training facilities in Toowoomba and Brisbane, Queensland, AWCC initially focused on servicing regional oil and gas fields with flexible training solutions. Over time, AWCC expanded its expertise to address the growing demand for skilled professionals across multiple industries, including construction, civil works, logistics, renewables, manufacturing, transportation, warehousing safety and now labour hire / recruitment.

Unique point of difference

Over 150 Years of Well Control and Field Expertise and Training Excellence
The Australian Well Control Centre (AWCC) stands as a testament to decades of expertise, founded by a team of seasoned industry professionals with a singular goal: to deliver exceptional training and services tailored to the Oil and Gas, Mining, Construction, and allied industries. Our offerings include nationally accredited training, premium well control programs, industry-recognised safety inductions, and skilled labour supply services.

A Legacy Rooted in Well Control Excellence
Unlike other generic training providers, AWCC’s foundation and identity in well control education. The challenging IWCF and IADC Well Control certifications, widely regarded as among the toughest in the Oil and Gas sector, have been our core focus—earning us the trust and respect of industry leaders. These programs, delivered by instructors with unparalleled hands-on field experience, exemplify the depth of our expertise and set us apart from competitors.

Built by Experts for Excellence
AWCC remains the only Queensland-based—and potentially Australia-wide—training organisation established by IWCF Well Control experts. This unique heritage allows us to integrate decades of rig and well control experience directly into our training programs.

At the request of leading drilling contractors, AWCC became a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in 2015, addressing the industry’s need for higher-quality training solutions. Since then, we have provided nationally accredited training to major operating companies and contractors, solving critical training challenges with unparalleled industry insight.

Recognised by Industry Leaders
Our commitment to excellence was formally acknowledged when AWCC was appointed as an Approved Program Provider for Safer Together’s Industry Safety Induction (ISI). We have since played a pivotal role in the program’s successful rollout and ongoing operations across Queensland. This recognition underscores our unwavering dedication to raising the bar for training quality and safety in the industries we serve.

The Case for Quality Training
In today’s era of heightened safety standards and competency management—compounded by changes to Industrial Manslaughter Laws in Queensland—companies can no longer afford to view training as a mere checkbox. Selecting a training provider is a critical decision that directly impacts safety, operational performance, and employee empowerment. AWCC stands ready to partner with organisations that value not just compliance, but true excellence.

Our programs are designed to reduce incidents, foster sound decision-making, and ensure every worker arrives home safely. When you choose AWCC, you’re investing in more than just training—you’re investing in a safer, more capable workforce and a better future for your organisation.
