Custom workwear & uniforms in Symonston
Custom workwear, uniforms and hi-vis delivered to Symonston and across Canberra.
Workwear Mart supplies custom workwear, uniforms and hi-vis to businesses and trades based in Symonston, an industrial and rural-character suburb roughly 10 kilometres south-east of the Canberra CBD, reached off the Monaro Highway. The suburb has long been zoned for broadacre uses rather than shops or offices, and is home to Geoscience Australia's headquarters, Defence facilities and several caravan parks alongside trade and storage yards. For operators working from these sites we print or embroider polos, jackets, pants and caps with a logo, and can produce fully sublimated garments made to order.
Symonston sits between the trade and bulky-goods precinct of Fyshwick, the industrial estates of Hume, and the office precincts of Deakin and Barton, so uniform needs here span several kinds of teams. Trade and storage crews typically want hardwearing hi-vis and workpants; office-based staff nearby prefer a smarter branded polo or soft-shell; and community sporting clubs across Woden generally need matching training and matchday sets. Sizes and colours can be mixed within a single order to suit a mixed workforce or squad.
Ordering follows the same process for any Symonston business or club: browse the online catalogue, select garments, enter quantities per size, and upload a logo. Pricing and a measured artwork proof arrive within 1 to 3 business days of the quote, and nothing is printed until that proof is approved. Every product page shows the manufacturer's size chart in centimetres, and a design already produced with an AI tool can be sent in using the guide at /pages/ai-uniform-design. Delivery is available Australia-wide, including to Symonston.
Delivery also covers nearby Fyshwick, Hume and Deakin, the rest of Canberra and Australia-wide.
This week in Symonston
Daylight saving begins in the ACT on 4 October, adding an extra hour of light to spring afternoons around Symonston's trade yards, caravan parks and Defence and Geoscience Australia sites. Canberra's spring temperatures still swing between cool mornings and warm afternoons, so many outdoor crews keep both a mid-weight jacket and a lighter hi-vis polo in rotation at this time of year. It is also a practical week for sporting clubs around Woden to place uniform orders ahead of the October-to-March season, since the measured artwork proof is typically returned within 1 to 3 business days, leaving time to have kit ready before early rounds.
