Women from the South Coast of NSW have a unique opportunity to explore the construction industry, with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n
The Australian Constructors Association (ACA), supported by the NSW Government, has launched the “It’s Possible” campaign to encourage women\u2014especially those mid-career\u2014to consider switching to the construction industry.<\/p>\n
ACA CEO Jon Davies said women with life experience already have the skills to succeed in construction.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwitching to construction doesn\u2019t mean starting from scratch. Most women who make the transition earn more and find more fulfilling work from day one,\u201d said Mr Davies.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy offering women the chance to visit active construction sites like the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital, they can witness firsthand the exciting opportunities the industry offers. We just need them to take the first step.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also gives women the chance to see behind the scenes of a project that will leave a legacy for the wider community and support locals for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Eurobodalla Regional Hospital is currently under construction and will feature a new Emergency Department, an intensive care unit, surgical and operating theatres, and a day-stay surgical unit spread across three clinical levels. Other services will include the region\u2019s first paediatric department and a contemporary maternity unit, supporting high-quality, patient-centred care.\u00a0The tour offers a chance to explore a major construction site that will shape the future of healthcare on the South Coast of NSW.<\/p>\n
The “It\u2019s Possible” campaign features inspiring stories from women who have successfully transitioned into construction from careers in banking, retail, hospitality and more. One of these women, Moretta, who made the leap from claims management to construction as she wanted a change.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was stuck at a desk ten hours. It\u2019s the variety of career opportunities that you have in the industry is what I like the most. It\u2019s been a really good change for me,\u201d Moretta said.<\/p>\n
The campaign invites women to register for exclusive, one-day-only tours of major infrastructure projects across NSW, including the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital. Participants will get an insider’s look at what it\u2019s like to work in construction and hear from women who have made a successful career switch.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes and witness firsthand the lasting impact this industry has,\u201d said Mr Davies.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeyond financial stability and career growth, construction offers the chance to contribute to something that will benefit future generations. If you\u2019ve ever thought about a career change, now\u2019s the time to take that first step.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Eurobodalla Regional Hospital site tour will be held on 1 May from 12 \u2013 3pm. Spots are limited.<\/p>\n
