he QRC/WIMARQ Resources Awards for Women form part of our strategy to increase the proportion of women in Queensland’s resources sector to at least 20 percent in non-traditional roles by 2020.

The awards, now in their 13th year, provide a platform to develop female ambassadors, role models and mentors to aid the attraction, retention and development of women in the resources sector.

Winners of the state awards become finalists in the Women in Resources National Awards presented later in the year.
