other genders who work professionally in various fields of nuclear technology and radiological

22 ANA2019 Conference, Ultimo, NSW, 27 September
2019
WiN Australia Inc. is the Australian chapter of WiN Global. Membership of WiN Australia
includes individuals working professionally in many areas including research, nuclear
operations, security, medicine and health care, waste management, regulatory authorities,
mining, nuclear and radiation safety, industry, policy and communications. As a body of
professionals, WiN Australia is able to inform the nuclear conversation through expertise and
neutrality rather than lobbying.
The presentation will provide a brief overview of the mission of WiN and the importance of
diversity in the nuclear workforce and in communicating the benefits of peaceful nuclear
technologies. In line with the conference theme of “Nuclear for a Low Carbon Future”, WiN’s
outlook on nuclear energy and climate change will be discussed. The presentation will conclude
with a summary of recent WiN Australia activities.
