Story
Team Australia - Digital Construction
Describing himself as a ‘keen surfer and waterman’, Bondi-based Daniel Gardner is taking his passion for our natural environment, and turning it towards reducing waste and improving efficiencies in the construction sector.
Currently in his third year (of four) of a Bachelor of Construction Project Management at the University of Technology Sydney, Daniel is set to be the first ever Australian competitor in WorldSkills’ new Digital Construction category.
After studying a series of subjects that included digital construction elements, Daniel developed a real passion for the field. His teacher, Christopher Brown, introduced him to WorldSkills, and Daniel had the opportunity compete in an online competition as part of the National Championships. Now, Daniel is working with Christopher to train for the 46th WorldSkills International Competition in Shanghai this coming August.
Concerned about the lack of sustainability and amount of waste in the construction sector, Daniel believes that digital construction will allow him to foster change in the industry. In order to make those changes, Daniel needs to be at the top of his field – and he believes skills excellence is critical to getting him to that place.
When asked about how it feels to have the chance to represent his country, Daniel says, “My goal as a competitor is to represent the country to the best of my ability. I love Australia and the opportunities we are blessed with by living here. This will be a great chance to showcase my pride.”

WorldSkills Australia
WorldSkills Australia is a social enterprise that has a purpose to identify, demonstrate, promote, and grow the excellence of Australia’s skills development. A not-for-profit organisation, we are a united voice for skills excellence in vocational, technological, and service oriented careers in Australia. We recognise that the vocational education and training sector is central to Australia’s economic growth, productivity, and future employment outcomes. We have a long and successful history of supporting young Australians to excel in their trade or skill by encouraging them to take part in WorldSkills events and test their skills against their peers at Australia’s most prestigious skills excellence competitions. We are unashamedly about excellence and since 1981, more to 100,000 apprentices and trainees have taken part in WorldSkills Australia activities with many going on to become leaders and key influencers in industry, small business owners and educators. In addition, during the past 40 years, thousands of industry experts and education professionals have enjoyed professional and personal development by volunteering their time and resources to support, train and mentor the apprentices and trainees taking part in WorldSkills competitions regionally, nationally, and internationally. WorldSkills events also provide unequalled opportunities for knowledge exchange between educators, industry, employers, and government departments, with a focus on best practices in skills training and development. As a result, educators and trainers, who participate as a WorldSkills Volunteers typically report improved training delivery and standards and this flows onto the RTO’s and employer groups in a meaningful way. www.worldskills.org.au Here is some more information on WorldSkills Australia and our competitors in action at the 2021 National Championships in Perth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UAJc_0p7Kg&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQtyEujdkU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohbsz2FPfEk&t=2s
