2024 marks the eleventh anniversary of the awards, hosted by the Minerals Council of Australia in partnership with its branches and partnership organisations, the New South Wales Minerals Council, the Queensland Resources Council, the Chamber of Minerals and Energy Western Australia, the Tasmanian Minerals, Manufacturing and Energy Council and the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy and, with support from Women in Mining Network state branches.

WIRNA is a wonderful opportunity to promote and encourage more women to pursue careers in the resources sector, and to recognise the vital role they play in driving innovation, productivity, and sustainability. At BHP, 37 per cent of our employees are now women, a figure that has more than doubled than 2016. We know that diverse teams are safer, more productive and engaged and we’re committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can bring their whole selves to work and perform at their best.

By supporting these awards, we hope to inspire the next generation of female leaders and role models, and to showcase the diverse and rewarding opportunities that the resources sector offers.
