And with the sector needing to recruit 70,000 workers to meet the demands of transport infrastructure investments, the opportunity to be innovative and inclusive is urgent.
The report was commissioned by the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) and National Women in Transport.
The report:
- Provides insights into the experiences of people who under-represented and often marginalised.
- Highlights the supportive practices – in Australia and overseas – contributing to the increase in women’s representation.
- Offers recommendations to help transform Australia’s rail sector for the better - for everyone who works in the sector.
