Issues We Are Tackling

The leadership gaps behind these hazards

These are not isolated problems. They are the symptoms of a culture that hasn’t been equipped to do better.

Inequity

The Journey

Built from on site, not from a consulting firm

Early Years

Angela’s career journey started at a young age, working in her family’s commercial landscaping business, before moving into managing a chain of locksmith stores in Brisbane. She was one of only two females in Queensland trained in complex locksmithing systems.

FIFO & Major Projects

Almost a decade as a FIFO worker across oil and gas, undersea electricity interconnectors, civil, engineering, renewables, power generation, water management, commercial construction, government initiatives, and major international projects across the Middle East, Asia and Pacific.

The Turning Point

Angela’s first hand experiences as a FIFO worker in remote locations exposed her to the challenges faced by women in the industry, including harassment, discrimination, bullying, inequity and intimidation. Her commitment to addressing these psychosocial hazards led to the founding of EPIC.
