Inaugural IQA Diversity and Inclusion Development Day

We invite you to join us for our first Diversity and Inclusion Development Day on 1 September 2022 in Brisbane.


Date:        Thursday 1 September 2022
Time:        10:00am - 5:00pm 
Venue:      Kedron Wavell Services Club | 21 Kittyhawk Dr, Chermside QLD | Directions here

This initiative is in line with our nationwide focus on providing forums to discuss and plan for revised approaches to workforce development in light of the challenges faced in attracting and retaining staff across the extractive and associated industries.

The theme for this important day is Building Strong Foundations which focuses on our people as the foundation of our organisations who are attributable to our success.  By taking the learnings of yesterday we can continue to build even stronger foundations for our people, into the future.

This theme will be presented in conjunction with our ongoing campaign, See Us Be Us, an initiative which promotes diversity in the extractive and associated industries with the aim of encouraging more people to consider our industry as a career path. 

We encourage you to join the conversation on 1 September as we embark on our first IQA Diversity and Inclusion Development Day.
