Returning in 2026, the Women in Industry Awards are back to celebrate and recognise the outstanding women who are redefining what’s possible across transport, mining, engineering, logistics, manufacturing and beyond.  

​This years’ awards will boast a brand-new location and four new award categories that are designed to represent a wider range of talent and skills in more industries.  

 ​Moving from Melbourne to Sydney in 2026, the awards will be held at the Doltone House Darling Island Wharf in Sydney on the 18th of June.  

 “This move makes sense for the direction of the awards; the industry is growing so naturally we wanted to expand the awards program to accommodate to a wider audience,” Caitlyn Douglas – Prime Creative Media Event Producer said. 

 The four new award categories include, Marketer of the Year, Excellence in Health and Medical of the Year, Tradeswoman of the Year and Rising Women in Leadership: C-Suite Executive Award.  

 “To accompany the new location, these new awards were created to align with the growing industry and will bring more opportunity to celebrate success,” Douglas said. 

 There will be a total of 16 award categories at the 2026 Women in Industry Awards including:
