Actions Speak Louder
Practical solutions so women tradies feel supported and heard.
From hygienic facilities and period products, to workwear that fits and injury prevention.
Women have been telling us what they need, now we are delivering.
TRAIN with this free injury prevention programme
We’ve teamed up with strength and performance specialist Shannon MacLachlan, owner of TrainHer®. Apprentices can choose from three training programmes specially designed for women in the trades.
GET free period products
We’ve partnered with Dignity who are leading period equity in Aotearoa. Apprentices can receive a supply of their choice of period products.
WEAR women's workwear
We’ve partnered with national brands NZ Safety Blackwoods, Queens Workwear and Cleanline Tasman. Apprentices gain access to discounts on women-designed workwear and PPE.
ACCESS sanitation facilities
As an employer, if you’ve already got a Hirepool portaloo onsite, you can receive a free sanitary bin to ensure women have hygienic facilities. Otherwise you can hire a Hirepool portaloo at a discounted rate and receive a sanitary bin free of charge.
