Abstract

This study uses existing research to discuss gender equality, in both the Australian workplace as a whole and then the engineering industry specifically, to support the recommendation for progressive industrial change. The purpose of this paper is to provide five key areas of focus to enable the industry to commence and then sustain progressive industrial change and therefore retain and represent women at all levels.
