Despite industry efforts to increase female participation over the past decade or so, themining industry remains male dominated. Very few studies provide any substantial employment data onIndigenous women or detail their experience working at large mines. This article presents an overview of recentdevelopments for Indigenous women employed in the Australian resource industry, and their experiences,drawing on research conducted at four large mines in Western Australia. The authors argue that the industry isnot adequately recognising or responding to gender-based employment impacts for Indigenous groups in Australia and offer insight for future policy and practice.
