🌊 A rising tide lifts all ships

It’s the essence of our Women in Mining Network and our Mentoring Program.

Fantastic to see the Mentees and Mentors last Friday at the mid-program catch up, reflecting on their journey to date.

Thank you to Lisa Cutler and Amanda Blesing FARPI MAICD for guiding our Mentees. None of this possible without our Mentors, Mentees, and wonderful sponsors. Thank you to GHD, Rio Tinto and Global Victoria for thier ongoing support.

We’re incredibly proud of Victoria’s 6th mentee cohort and looking forward to continuing to celebrating this group of inspirational people!
