Working in Papua New Guinea, being isolated by gender, experience and profession, it was clear I had to find people who understood the challenges and I could share stories with. I started thinking about the safety profession as a whole, what it means, what is the history of our great profession and how could I contribute. Fast forward 5 years and we have Women in Safety across all states of Australia and in New Zealand. Why is it successful? Why has it grown? Women in Safety has become more about finding a safe space to learn, connect, collaborate and build resilience in a field that is often challenging. The conversations have grown and continue to inspire all of us to make sure our tribe that surrounds us is safe.
