We are creating cultural and structural change in the maritime, construction, and transport industries so that more women not only enter these industries but stay and thrive. Our work is rooted in collaboration, on-the-ground insight, and evidence-based practice. Whether you are an employer, a union official, or a worker, this is your place to find tools, research, and a community to help build respectful, safe and inclusive workplaces.
Watch the video below to hear Aaron discuss his journey with change in the maritime industry and what change looks like when it starts at work.
Queensland Women Rise is a collaborative project dedicated to increasing women's participation and retention in the secure, organised industries of maritime, construction, and tranport. We recognise that too many workers are excluded or pushed out of these sectors because of inflexible work arrangements, and disrespectful workplace cultures. Our goal is to build workplaces where everyone is safe, valued, and able to thrive.
Change doesn't happen by chance. We started with research, listened to workers, and built real action plans with real workplaces. Here’s how we’re getting it done.
