International Women’s Day: AusIMM launches immersive workshop

The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy is running an immersive workshop focused on psychosocial risk management, alongside its International Women’s Day Event Series in Perth and Brisbane. 

AusIMM says it recognises the ongoing challenges the resources industry faces that can lead to physical and psychosocial risk outcomes. 

During the International Women’s Day Event Series, held between 27 February and 14 March 2025, the institute will host critical workshops that provide skills focused on knowledge in psychosocial risk management and applying the critical control approach. 

Participants will gain an up-to-date overview of the latest approaches and insights into applying critical risk control management to psychosocial risks, as well as a guide through the process of identifying, specifying, and verifying good controls for psychosocial risks. 

The workshop is designed for Safety Risk Managers, Health and Safety Superintendents, HR Business Partners, OHS Advisors, Operational Supervisors, and anyone interested in enhancing workplace safety.

In Brisbane, workshops are held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre between 27-28 February. In Perth, workshops are held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre between 6-7 March. 

AusIMM’s International Women’s Day Event Series is considered the nation’s largest mining-related event honouring the contributions of women in the resources sector. The event brings together 3,000 attendees with a two-course meal, celebrating achievements, and connecting with industry professionals.

International Women’s Day is held on 8 March 2025 is considered a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. 

During last year’s IWD, Mining.com.au spoke to women across the mining sector that come from different walks of life to share their stories and experiences while working in the industry. 

The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy is the peak body for professionals working in the resources sector. The institute represents a global community from 100 countries involved in all aspects of the mining industry.
