Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day 2026 on April 1st at the GHD office in Sydney.

Online and in person event

The event will begin with a keynote by Carlos Sanabria, Precast Yard Manager at Western Harbour Tunnel – P2, who will share valuable insights into the project’s inclusion initiatives. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Natascha Rezai, Katarina David, Carlos Sanabria, and Candice Camacho, who will offer diverse, first-hand perspectives from the tunnelling industry through a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion lens.

The 2026 theme, “Engineering Tomorrow: A Shared Commitment to Leadership,” highlights the importance of collective responsibility and collaboration in shaping the future of leadership- particularly in engineering and other traditionally male-dominated industries. It emphasises shared leadership, equal opportunities, diverse perspectives, and accountability in driving meaningful and inclusive change.
