Women in Resources and Manufacturing Tasmania Awards

A state-wide recognition program celebrating the exceptional contributions of women across the mining, manufacturing, and energy sectors.

Organisation Overview

The Tasmanian Minerals, Manufacturing and Energy Council (TMEC) is the peak industry body representing Tasmania’s diverse industrial sectors. Dedicated to promoting a globally competitive and sustainable operating environment, TMEC advocates for its members while fostering collaboration, innovation, and workforce development to ensure a cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive future for the state’s economy.

TMEC champions the visibility and recognition of women through its annual “Women in Resources and Manufacturing Tasmania Awards.” This prestigious event serves as a platform to celebrate the exceptional contributions of women working across the state’s mining, manufacturing, and energy sectors. By highlighting individual success stories – from tradeswomen and operators to technical specialists and executives – the initiative aims to challenge traditional stereotypes and demonstrate the diverse career opportunities available to women in these industries.

The awards play a crucial role in shifting community perceptions and inspiring the next generation of female talent. By showcasing tangible role models who are thriving in traditionally male-dominated fields, TMEC encourages more women to consider and pursue careers in the sector. The program not only honours local achievement but also connects Tasmanian talent with the broader national stage, as eligible winners often progress to compete in national industry awards, further elevating the profile of Tasmania’s skilled workforce.
