National Awards inspire more females to join industry

National Awards



The winners of the BHP 2021 Women in Resources National Awards reflect the extraordinary breadth of talent, contribution, skill and passion of women in Australia’s world-leading resources industry.

Their inspirational stories will raise awareness of the diverse careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics – as well as the trades and social sciences – that exist in the resources sector for women.

There are clear benefits in increasing women’s workforce participation in resources including better living standards for individuals and families particularly in regional Australia and increased productivity and sustainability for our companies.
