Nominations are now open for the Women in Industry Awards, set to celebrate the women driving change in the energy industry and other industrial sectors.
For more than 10 years, these awards have recognised outstanding women in industry.
This is your opportunity to recognise the women who are driving change in the Australian energy sector and – in doing so – breaking down barriers and creating new possibilities for the next generation.
These may be women you work with, women whose achievements are inspiring you from afar, or women who are providing you with invaluable guidance and support.
We believe their dedication and exceptionalism should be celebrated.
The awards night will take place on 19 June 2025 in Melbourne, and celebrate women who work in energy, mining, transport, manufacturing, engineering, logistics, bulk handling, waste management, rail, construction and infrastructure.
