Hi-Vis Women Australia:
Your advocates for appropriate
workplace behaviour!
THE MISSION
Ensure that a career in construction is a natural career choice, regardless of gender.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge is making sure they stay. To create a cultural shift, you have to disrupt the current behaviours.
THE SOLUTION
Education
Cultural awareness is talking about the type of bad and toxic behaviour that exists in every market place and how to shut down bad behaviour before it escalates. #beenthere
Cultural Change
We’re demolishing existing bias and sharing our career paths and insights with our daughters, in the same way men have for generations.
Social Change
Driving an industry-wide focus on positive change and recruiting more women across all kinds of jobs within building and construction.
Economic Change
High-Vis Women are addressing skills shortages and unemployment by increasing enrolment and education facilities for our industry.
Reasons Why Women Don’t Report Bad Behaviour
"Think I must be to blame."
"Have complained before
and NOTHING happened."
"He is my BOSS!"
"Too embarrassed to talk to
a man about sexual misconduct"
"You will never work
in this town again."
"Too embarrassed to say
someone is attracted to me."

Testimonials
“Hi-Vis Women Australia is a remarkable social enterprise, with a very passionate leadership group. Cbus is well aware of the need to assist in the development of gender equality, in particular the opportunities created for women in the construction industry. We understand only too well the extremely low numbers of women working in the construction industry and the initiative shown by Linda, Rebecca and the rest of the Hi-Vis team to provide real opportunities for women is one that should be commended and recognised for its potential to create change.
I am truly happy and excited by the opportunities Hi-Vis is creating and offer my continued support. The strong values and real outcomes created by the team will allow many more men and women to understand the huge array of amazing career opportunities for women in the built environment”. - Cbus
Hi-Vis Women are addressing the skills shortage by driving an industry-wide focus on positive change in building in the construction industry that is conducive to women, or they won’t stay.
