Brooke shares her insights into the Women in Hydraulics Initiative (WiHi) and why building a supportive network is crucial for women in the hydraulics industry.

WiHi isn't just about networking; it's about breaking barriers and creating opportunities through support and connection. We want to know your thoughts.

Meet Helen Brown from ACO Australia! Helen brings a fresh perspective to the construction industry, emphasising the unique skillsets women bring to a male-dominated field. Helen's drive for the Women in Hydraulics Initiative (WiHi) is to provide connection and support for women, helping them feel confident in their abilities, valued, and empowered to be their authentic selves. Helen shares, “The hydraulics industry offers amazing opportunities to bring a different set of strengths and qualities to the workplace, which are very much needed.” WiHi is making a difference by fostering a supportive community where women can thrive and bring their full potential to their roles. Through sponsored events, WiHi mentors women to advance their careers in the hydraulics industry.

Meet Lorelei Broadbent from the Association of Hydraulic Services Consultants Australia Queensland Chapter Inc. Lorelei has dedicated her career to working with professional associations, especially in the traditionally male-dominated engineering and construction sectors. Over the years, she noticed a gradual increase in the number of women participating in networking events, which she believes are crucial for both professional and personal growth. Lorelei shares, “We didn’t know how many women were working in the hydraulics sector and would only meet 3-4 regularly. The more we talked about this initiative, the more women we started to meet, and our database is constantly growing.” Through WiHi, Lorelei aims to establish a growing community of women-supporting-women in the hydraulics industry. The initiative provides a platform for sharing knowledge, stories, and having fun while supporting each other. Lorelei hopes that knowing there is a group like WiHi will encourage more women to get involved and lead a successful career in the industry. WiHi is breaking down barriers and fostering a supportive community for women in hydraulics.
