Resourceful Women April Newsletter

Sienna Tamati • April 30, 2026

2026 continues to build strong momentum at Resourceful Women, with March and April proving to be incredibly exciting months for our growing community.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen continued growth, deeper connections and some very special milestones. Most notably, Sienna Tamati has been announced as a finalist in the Women in Industry Awards, taking place in Sydney this June. This recognition reflects the dedication, passion and work that has gone into building Resourceful Women over the past 18 months.


This achievement would not be possible without the ongoing support of Dani Tamati and the incredible community backing Resourceful Women. Our mission remains clear, to connect great women with great businesses, educate women on opportunities within the mining and resources industry, and support them in finding pathways with companies that value their skills and potential.

We’re proud to play a part in building a safe, inclusive and progressive industry, led by strong, supportive people. Thank you to everyone who continues to support Resourceful Women and the values we stand for.

If you’re new here, welcome. Resourceful Women exists to create genuine connections, amplify experience and support women at every stage of their career, whether you’re just starting out, transitioning into mining or looking to grow and lead.


March Sundowner: Leveraging Your Network

In March, we hosted our Sundowner focused on Leveraging Your Network, bringing together men and women from across the industry for an evening of connection and learning.

Managing Director, Dani Tamati, led a practical LinkedIn workshop, guiding attendees through how to set up and optimise their profiles to best represent their skills and experience. The session was designed to help attendees build confidence in presenting themselves professionally and to stay connected with others beyond the event.

Despite the weather, we had a fantastic turnout and are grateful to everyone who joined us. It was great to see so many meaningful conversations happening throughout the evening.

All attendees should have now received a copy of the LinkedIn presentation, and event photos are available to view on our website.


May Sundowner: FIFO as a Family

Our next Resourceful Women Sundowner is fast approaching, and we’re excited to announce our May event.

Theme: FIFO as a Family
Date: 22nd May 2026


We’ll be joined by Vicky Pellowe from The FIFO Family Project, who will share her experience as a FIFO worker, a FIFO partner and part of a FIFO family. Vicky is a strong advocate for supporting FIFO families and will provide valuable insight into navigating the realities of balancing FIFO work and family life.

This event is ideal for current FIFO workers with children, those considering starting a family, or individuals looking to enter the FIFO lifestyle while maintaining a strong family foundation. It’s also a valuable opportunity for companies to better understand how to support their FIFO workforce, particularly working parents, while connecting with job-ready candidates in a meaningful way.


Tickets are now live and available, and we encourage you to secure yours early. Moving forward, Resourceful Women events will be held bi-monthly, creating even more opportunities to connect with both candidates and industry professionals.

As our community continues to grow, so does the value of being part of the Resourceful Women network.

Recently, we hosted a Thrive and Lead Her members catch-up, a relaxed dinner designed to bring members together, strengthen connections and continue building a supportive community.

It was a great opportunity for members to meet one another and share their experiences.


We have more exclusive member events planned, including upcoming roundtable sessions at our new office. These sessions will provide a space for open discussion, sharing insights and exploring how we can continue to support women and drive positive change across the mining and resources industry.

Out and About in the Industry

It’s been a busy and productive period for the Resourceful Women team, with continued involvement across a range of industry events and initiatives.


We’re looking forward to the upcoming WITTI (Women in the Tyre Industry) networking sundowner on the 15th of May at the Rose & Crown in Guildford.

This will be a fantastic opportunity for those exploring new pathways into the industry, as well as anyone looking to expand their network and connect with industry professionals.

We’ve also been actively attending CEO’s for Gender Equity events. Sienna recently attended an event at Fortescue Headquarters, connecting with a room full of individuals who are all working toward the shared goal of creating more inclusive and supportive workplaces. Dani has also attended recent sessions, continuing to strengthen these important connections.


Outside of mining, we’ve been engaging with RugbyWA, supporting community initiatives and connecting with others who are passionate about building strong communities across Western Australia.


In addition, we continue to attend monthly WA Mining Club events, allowing us to stay up to date with industry developments, strengthen relationships and ensure we’re providing the most relevant insights and opportunities to our community. Whilst also connecting with industry professionals looking to support women in mining and resources.


Sienna also recently attended a YMPP event alongside new Resourceful Women and THE resources HUB team member, Abby. These events are a great opportunity to connect with emerging leaders and gain insight into the future of the industry.

Resourceful Women March Newsletter

By Sienna Tamati • March 11, 2026
2026 continues to build momentum at Resourceful Women and March is shaping up to be another exciting month for our growing community. As we move into March, we’re also proud to celebrate International Women’s Day , a moment to recognise the achievements of women across industries and reflect on the progress being made toward greater equity and opportunity. The mining and resources sector has seen incredible growth in female participation over the years, but the power of community, mentorship and support remains just as important as ever. At Resourceful Women, our mission is to create a space where women can connect, share experiences and continue building confidence and capability across every stage of their career. Every conversation, event and connection made through Resourceful Women contributes to building a stronger, more supportive industry for women now and into the future. If you’re new here, welcome. Resourceful Women exists to create genuine connections, amplify experience and support women at every stage of their career, whether you’re just starting out, transitioning into mining or looking to grow and lead. A Sold Out February Sundowner Our February Sundowner was an incredible way to kick off the year, with the event officially selling out and bringing together 70 attendees, including 7 children , for an evening of connection and conversation. One of the things we’re most proud of is creating a welcoming environment where women feel comfortable attending, even if that means bringing their children along. Seeing families present in the room was a great reminder that building supportive networks in the mining and resources industry means creating spaces that recognise the realities of balancing career, family and life. The feedback following the event was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees sharing how valuable it was to meet others in the industry, exchange insights and make new connections. The energy in the room was undeniable and it set a strong tone for the events we have planned throughout the year. March Sundowner: Leveraging Your Network Our next Resourceful Women Sundowner will take place later this month and we’d love to see you there. Theme: Leveraging Your Network Date: 27 March 2026 Over the past few months we’ve noticed a common theme among many women attending our events, particularly those looking to enter or transition into the mining and resources industry. While there are plenty of opportunities available, many people aren’t always aware of the different ways they can stay visible and connected with companies and industry professionals. This month’s Sundowner will focus on how meaningful connections and strong professional networks can play an important role in opening doors and creating opportunities within the industry. These events continue to bring together a mix of experienced professionals, industry leaders and women who are just beginning their journey in mining and resources. The conversations that happen in these rooms are often where guidance is shared, confidence is built and new opportunities begin. Tickets are available now and we encourage you to secure yours early. Become a Resourceful Women Member As our community continues to grow, so does the value of being part of the Resourceful Women network. Becoming a member provides access to a range of benefits including discounted event tickets, increased visibility within the industry and opportunities to connect more closely with other women across the mining and resources sector. If you’re looking to expand your network, gain industry insight and be part of a community that is actively supporting women across the sector, we encourage you to explore our membership options. Out and About in the Industry The start of the year has already been incredibly busy for the Resourceful Women team, attending industry events, building partnerships and continuing to strengthen our presence within the mining and resources sector. These opportunities allow us to connect with companies, leaders and organisations who share the same goal of supporting and advancing women across the industry. As always, we’re proud to represent the Resourceful Women community in these spaces and continue advocating for greater connection, opportunity and visibility for women in mining and resources.
