Forestry investing in women to accelerate progressFriday 8 Mar 2024
As a major player in Australian forestry – a traditionally male-dominated industry - Forestry Corporation stands proud of its gender equality in the workplace. Women currently make up a quarter of the workforce with many female leaders in management roles standing at the forefront of the industry. Forestry Corporation’s Talent & OD Business Partner Amba Addinsall said there has been a marked increase in female representation in Forestry Corporation’s executive and leadership teams. “Our executive leadership team has hit gender parity for the first time ever and 24% of our senior leaders are now women,” Ms Addinsall said.

This year, Jason Wilson, HQPlantations CEO, says we have a lot to celebrate...and more to do. "Once a year we take the time on International Women’s Day to recognise how far we have come over the last few decades to improve equality and inclusion for women. It is also a day to focus our attention on how far we have yet to go," said Jason. The appointment of HQP’s first female District Manager, Tracey Grigor, and first female General Manager, Michelle McAndrew, helped HQP make better decisions that are more informed and with more diverse views.
