Celebrating International Women’s Day in 2025

Every year, International Women’s Day (IWD) marks a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the women who make our business and workspaces great, encourage gender equality and reinforce our commitment to creating inclusive and respectful workplaces.

This year’s Australian United Nations theme, ‘March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls’, reminds us that progress is not just about reflection but about taking decisive, bold steps to turn our commitments into action.

Part of our celebrations included an online roundtable discussion with more than 180 people tuning in to listen to four inspiring women from Monos’ sharing their career journeys, what a day in their role looks like, and some insights they’ve gained throughout their work life.

The team enjoyed anecdotes and a few laughs from Ann Brinkamp (Manager – Training, Indigenous Engagement and Early Careers), Karen Keating (Commercial Manager M&IS), Paige Griffiths (Project Manager EC), and Bec Voyer (Group Environmental Lead).

While our site-based teams all marked the day differently. From discussing talking points in their pre-start meeting to attending special events, it was great to see IWD celebrated everywhere.

Due to Cyclone Alfred, our team on the East Coast has postponed their IWD morning tea, which will now be held in the coming weeks. The team will be hosting our proud community partner under Respect@Monadelphous, 4 Voices Founder, Jo West. 4 Voices is a for-purpose organisation providing free frontline services to women and families experiencing domestic violence.

We also showcased some of our team across our social media channels. You can check them out here: LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

International Women’s Day isn’t the only time we celebrate and support women. Our Gender Diversity and Inclusion Plan guides our work in supporting women to achieve their full potential both at Monadelphous and within the industries where we work. We also have corporate membership with National Association of Women in Operations (NAWO), which means you can become a member for free. Signing up will give you access to resources, events, networking opportunities and webinars.

Thank you to everyone who joined in celebrating International Women’s Day across our sites and offices.
