Australia’s premier awards celebrating trailblazing women in industry will feature a gala presentation on 18 June at Doltone House Darling Island Wharf, Sydney.
The 2026 Women in Industry Awards gala will bring together industry leaders, accomplished women and businesses who are supporting change.
Queensland optometrist and business co-owner Shaina Zheng and ophthalmologist, molecular biologist and global health innovator Dr Sarah Crowe have been recognised among finalists in a new category celebrating excellence in health and medicine.
The awards celebrate the achievements of women across Australia who are making an exceptional impact in their field and bring together businesses and organisations that support the diversity, growth and success of women.
The 2026 program is strengthened by the support of key partners across multiple sponsorship levels. Platinum Sponsor, Australian Power Equipment provides vital backing that underpins the success of the awards.
Gold Sponsors Kenter and Grundfos Pumps further reinforce the program through their ongoing commitment to recognising excellence across the sector, while the Australian Flexible Pavement Association joins as Association Partner, supporting industry connection and advocacy.
Together, these organisations play an essential role in elevating the reach and impact of the 2026 awards.
With the support of these partners, Atlas Copco Group leads the charge as Principal Partner, marking its support for the awards and further cementing its long-standing partnership.
“Atlas Copco Group’s decade-long partnership with the Women in Industry Awards is driven by a firm belief that inclusion fuels innovation,” said communications manager – holdings Southeast Asia & Oceania at Atlas Copco Group, Natalie Douglas.
“Sponsorship enables Atlas Copco Group to actively champion emerging leaders, unite curious minds and celebrate their achievements, and contribute to building a more equitable and future-ready industrial landscape.”
Combined, these partnerships extend the awards’ reach and deepen their impact, bringing industry leaders together while strengthening the program’s ability to celebrate achievement, foster innovation, and support ongoing industry growth.
