ABOUT SALT
In Australia the figures for tradeswomen are very small with just over 5000 tradeswomen across the whole of Australia. Supporting And Linking Tradeswomen (SALT) is a non-‐profit incorporated organisation, which began in 2009 to provide a support network for tradeswomen, apprentices and women who wish to enter the trades. The aims of SALT are:
• Providing support to tradeswomen in Australia including apprentices and women seeking to work in the trades
• Providing avenues for women to meet other tradeswomen, apprentices etc and share experiences
• Promoting women in the trades to the general public and industry
• Advocating for change to attitudes to women working in the trades
• Campaigning for changes which enable women to train and work in trades
• Promoting diversity and acceptance for all people in the trades, SALT has always encouraged men to join us as we believe the way forward is men and women working together
Since we began we have run 86 Workshops across NSW, ACT and Victoria teaching women how to use tools using our mobile workshop. We have partnered with multiple organisations and taken teams of tradeswomen and men who voluntarily worked to help farmers dealing with drought in Lightning Ridge four times in less than a year. We have given talks in about 50 schools regarding making positive career choices which will enable women to earn reasonable wages to support themselves and their families. We have also worked Government departments such as Department of Education, Women NSW and Office for Women, Victoria and major construction companies and peak bodies such as NECA, Master Painters and Master Electricians regarding policies and initiatives to employ women in trades.
ABOUT THE TRADESWOMEN AUSTRALIA CONFERENCE
The inaugural Tradeswomen Australia Conference theme is:
“Jobs don’t have a gender, your country needs you”
The social misconception that jobs have genders and that work is divided into men and women’s jobs does not allow the Australian Workforce to meet its full potential and hugely diminishes what it is possible in terms of overall production and GDP. It is also unrecognised that women have worked in all areas of industry and the contribution that women have made throughout Australian history is seldom acknowledged. The conference will unequivocally establish a foundation of knowledge and recognition of what has gone before and look to the future regarding what can be done to establish gender diversity and move to ensure that ‘trade capability’ is what the discussion evolves around and not gender.

WHO WILL ATTEND?
The Tradeswomen Australia Conference will attract tradeswomen, apprentices, tradeswomen’s representatives and groups, policy makers, Industry leaders, Industry groups, trade suppliers and a wide range of people who are interested in supporting a forward thinking and innovative work culture that produces increased output and results.
The venue can hold 450 delegates comfortably and provides scope for multiple activities
THE VENUE
Wollongong Town Hall is the city’s key civic and community venue and is located within Wollongong’s Arts Precinct. It was extensively refurbished in 2011 and provides an outstanding venue with the main auditorium boasting cathedral ceilings, wooden floors, renowned acoustics, the ‘royal box’ and historically significant Ronald Sharp pipe Organ.
Ron Sharp was a self taught organ builder who introduced mechanical action to Australia. His tracker action baroque organs are particularly famous. The town hall Organ is considered a notable organ along with his Sydney Opera House Grand Organ, Knox Grammar School Chapel Organ and Perth Concert Hall Organ. This will be the main conference area for keynote speakers and plenary.
The Music Lounge plus additional areas will host a major exhibition of women working in Industry during the World Wars, and feature significant local and national history regarding the 40,000 plus women who worked in munitions, aircraft and shipbuilding. The Ocean and Wattle Room will form part of the break out activities with other function spaces within the complex.
