Awards to celebrate industry-leading women
The 2025 Women in Industry Awards are now open to nominations, seeking to recognise women who have made outstanding contributions to their sectors.
For more than ten years, these awards recognise outstanding women from across a range of industrial sectors.
This is your opportunity to recognise the women who are driving change in your industry 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 mining, transport, manufacturing, engineering, logistics, bulk handling, waste management, rail, construction and infrastructure, and energy.
