Hundreds of Women in Male Dominated Occupations and Industries – WIMDOI – converge in Canberra
192 Women, 26 Unions, 2 Continents – this is WIMDOI Canberra 2022.
The WIMDOI 2022 National Conference is being held in Canberra from 13 – 15 September.
One hundred and ninety-two women representing nearly 26 unions from all around Australia and New Zealand will be attending.
WIMDOI stands for Women in Male Dominated Occupations and Industries and is a forum for women to come together and share in their experiences of working as women in workplaces.
These women are often the only woman in their workplace and/or experience work where decisions are made by men with little regard for issues that affect women at work.
Women employed in industries as diverse as transport, stevedoring, aviation, electrical and construction trades, and emergency services will be in attendance. For over 20 years, this group has helped inspire hundreds of women and given them tools to last through their working careers.
WIMDOI was established to break down barriers for women in male dominated industries and support them as they develop their skills, build their experience and excel as skilled professionals.
The committee welcomes all the women participants to WIMDOI 2022 and prides itself in creating a safe environment where women can come together, network and share in what sometimes are horrific personal stories about their experiences in workplaces.
Delegates and committee members will visit Australian Parliament House in Canberra at 1pm on Tuesday 13 September and are available to meet with media to discuss the priorities and aims of the conference.
