Join us at the first Working Women Queensland Conference, being held at Barrambin / Victoria Park Function Centre on Tuesday 3 September 2024. A full day conference, followed by an afternoon social event to network and to unpack the day. WWQ is dedicated to using a feminist framework to support women in the workplace, and we are excited to host this event and bring together a community of practice to explore current and emerging workplace issues.

Key topics for this year's conference will include:

Primary prevention of Gender Based Violence in workplaces (including sexual harassment)
Economic security of women (including the gender pay gap, flexible arrangements, and demystifying superannuation)
Safe digital transformation of workplaces in the age of AI

Our presenters and panellists will unpack the issues, who they affect and why, and provide insights into what supports and options for advocacy are available.

Recent years have seen a raft of industrial relations, discrimination and work health and safety reforms. We will unpack what these changes mean, what avenues are available to address inequity and how workplaces across Queensland can be fairer and safer, especially for women.

[CPD points will be available for attending this event]

This conference is recommended for people working in workplace gender equity spaces, legal teams, unions, Industrial Officers, Unionists, Community Sector leaders, Feminists, employers, and workplace and community leaders.

Who are we?
