Tradeswomen Australia Foundation envisions an Australia where women and girls who want to, can, and do work successfully in trades. We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workforce by promoting gender equality in skilled trades.

As a national charity, our mission is to create equity and equality in trades by partnering with employers to build culturally safe and inclusive workplaces, and by mentoring, educating, and supporting women and girls in non-traditional trades. We focus on increasing the recruitment of women into male-dominated industries and ensuring their long-term success by addressing the systemic barriers that impact retention, such as workplace culture, discrimination, and lack of support. By tackling both entry and progression challenges, we help create sustainable career pathways for women in trades.

Central to our work is the lived experience of tradeswomen. Their voices shape our programs, ensuring that our solutions reflect real-world challenges and empower women to thrive in trades.

Our expertise is regularly sought by government and corporate policymakers to inform strategies that strengthen gender equity and workforce participation, and we have enduring partnerships with many Philanthropic organisations across Australia.

Through collaboration, advocacy, and practical action, Tradeswomen Australia is driving meaningful change in Australia’s trades sector—one that values and supports women at every stage of their career.

The Infrastructure Association of Queensland (IAQ) was formed in 1994 to encourage private sector participants involved in the development, ownership or operation of infrastructure projects to meet their industry peers, potential clients and customers to discuss and act upon infrastructure issues which affect the industry.

Today, IAQ is committed to connecting, informing and developing Queensland’s infrastructure industry. Working within its strategic priorities of Investment, Partnerships, Community, Innovation and Member Engagement, IAQ is focused on understanding best practice from around the world and engaging with all tiers of government to shape important policies to benefit all Queenslanders.
