Custom workwear & uniforms in Deakin
Custom workwear, uniforms and hi-vis delivered to Deakin and across Canberra.
Workwear Mart supplies custom workwear, uniforms and hi-vis to businesses, contractors, clubs and schools around Deakin, an established Canberra suburb roughly six kilometres south-southwest of the city centre. Much of Deakin was built after 1945 as a residential area, though the suburb also holds notable public buildings, including the Royal Australian Mint and The Lodge, the Prime Minister's official residence. Orders from Deakin range from small trade teams working on nearby homes to front-of-house and facilities staff needing a consistent, professional look.
The teams that typically order from Deakin cover a wide range: maintenance and grounds contractors keeping the suburb's homes and public grounds in shape, tradespeople renovating nearby, and administrative or visitor-facing staff at nearby institutions who need tidy polos or jackets rather than heavy-duty hi-vis. Sporting clubs and school groups from Deakin and nearby Barton, Manuka and Kingston also order house-colour polos and warm-up jackets when a squad needs to look the same on game day.
Ordering follows the same process wherever you are based in Deakin. Browse the online catalogue, choose your garments and enter quantities against each size, since sizes and colours can be mixed within a single order, then upload your logo or send through an image if it was designed with an AI tool (guide at /pages/ai-uniform-design). We price the job and return a measured artwork proof within one to three business days, and nothing goes to print or embroidery until you have signed that proof off. Once approved, garments are made and delivered to your Deakin address.
Delivery also covers nearby Barton, Fyshwick and Manuka, the rest of Canberra and Australia-wide.
This week in Deakin
With daylight saving starting across the ACT on 4 October, teams working around Deakin are moving into longer evenings and earlier mornings with more usable light. It is a practical moment for facilities and grounds crews, and for administrative or front-of-house staff at nearby institutions, to check that current uniform stock still fits everyone rostered on and that any faded or worn polos and jackets are replaced before the change. If your club or office is bringing on extra help for the warmer months, it is also a simple time to place a top-up order so new starters are not left without the right gear once rosters shift with the extra daylight.

Questions
Ordering workwear in Deakin
Do you deliver custom workwear and uniforms to Deakin addresses?
Yes. Once your artwork proof is approved, finished garments are delivered to Deakin and surrounding Canberra suburbs. There is no need to collect in person - you order online, we produce to the approved proof, and the completed uniforms are sent directly to your address.
Can Deakin businesses and government-adjacent offices order plain, branded polos without hi-vis?
Yes. Many orders from around Deakin are for smart, branded polos and jackets for administrative or front-of-house roles rather than heavy-duty hi-vis. You choose the garment, upload your logo, and we produce a measured proof before anything is printed or embroidered.
Can a Deakin sporting club or school order matching teamwear across different sizes?
Yes. You enter quantities against each size in the one order, and sizes and colours can be mixed freely, which suits clubs and schools ordering for players or students of different ages and builds in a single batch.
Do you deliver to Deakin?
Yes. We deliver Australia-wide, including Deakin and the rest of Canberra. Delivery to your site or office is arranged once your artwork proof is approved.
How do I get a quote for my Deakin team?
Add the products you need to your quote list (pick sizes and quantities from Quick view), attach your logo, and submit the quote form. We come back with pricing and a measured artwork proof.
Is anything printed before I approve it?
No. We send a visual artwork proof with measurements first. Nothing is printed or embroidered until you approve it.
Can one order cover several Canberra sites?
Yes. List each delivery address in the quote form and we will confirm how the order is split before production.
