WOMEN IN INDUSTRY AWARDS 2024

THE ANNUAL WOMEN IN INDUSTRY AWARDS SPOTLIGHTS THE TALENTED WOMEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE ACROSS A RANGE OF TYPICALLY MALE-DOMINATED INDUSTRIES LIKE MINING.

In a night of celebration, champagne, and sequins, the Women in Industry Awards continues to shine brighter every year.

With the aim of supporting outstanding women driving change and breaking down barriers in their respective industries, the Women in Industry Awards spotlights the possibilities for the next generation and rewards those who inspire to succeed.

The sectors celebrated at the awards are traditionally male-dominated industries, underlining the significance of those recognised given the barriers women face.

These winners may have been nominated by colleagues, or those they inspired from afar, or by those they have provided invaluable guidance and support.

As a proud partner of the Women in Industry Awards, Australian Mining believes the dedication and exceptionalism of these women should be celebrated.

In this feature, we profile all the awards winners from the big occasion.
