Our Impact
AWDT’s range of fit-for-purpose programmes, events and support services have evolved and grown since 2010 to meet the needs of industry organisations and individual participants.
So far we have worked directly with more than 3,000 women in primary industries to build their skills and confidence. They are now making a big impact at all levels – in farming businesses, in boardrooms, in management and in communities.
As AWDT graduates understand their purpose and begin to fulfil their potential, they are taking on new challenges and increasing their contributions. This creates a ripple effect that is transforming, farming businesses, communities and the wider industry.

‘‘I know I want to make positive change in the primary industry — where, when and how, I am not sure yet. The gem in all of this for me is the friendships and networks I have created along the way.’’
A great article on Rebecca Smith, one of our 2019 Escalator graduates,

New challenges come from continuous and rapid change, we need to control what we can and work to understand what we can't. Change will happen anyway, let's exercise our 'change muscle' in preparation.
