Presented by Anglo American, the Moranbah QRC/WIMARQ International Women's Day Breakfast and Resources Awards for Women form part of the QRC’s Women in Resources Action Plan to increase the proportion of women in Queensland’s resources sector. The awards provide a platform to develop ambassadors, role models, champions and mentors to aid the attraction, retention and development of women in the resources sector.

Registration opens at 6am and will start with local networking opportunities before breakfast and the streaming of the annual Resources Awards for Women. It will formally conclude at 9:30am. This event is a remarkable professional development event for people working in Queensland’s resources sector.

The awards recognise and promote company and individual achievements in improving the gender balance in our sector.
