Women in construction
Women working in the construction industry can be exposed to a different set of risks to others on site. It is important to know where to find support and how to best support female workers.
The NSW Government is taking active steps to make the construction industry a more diverse, inclusive and safe workplace for everyone.
Investing $20.2 million over 3 years to attract more women into the construction industry, the government is focussed on increasing the number of women in trade and non-traditional roles.
