Women in Industry Awards have grown in stature and size year after year and are a critical component in celebrating the success of some outstanding women in traditionally male-dominated industrial sectors such as mining, manufacturing, engineering and transport.

Through acknowledging these incredible achievements and individuals, the program hopes to shine a light on these industries as great career choices for other women.
