The CFMEU marks International Women’s Day – March 8 – by drawing attention to the achievements of women in the Australian construction industry, and encouraging more women to pursue a career in construction.
“Women work at all sorts of jobs in this industry,” said Dave Noonan, CFMEU National Construction Secretary. “They are crane operators, carpenters, scaffolders and painters. They operate heavy plant on civil jobs and are increasingly involved in Australia’s resource sector – both as tradespersons and labourers.
“Listen to the stories on this website to discover the kinds of opportunities available and what women think about working in the Australian construction industry.”
