Perth Airport connects Western Australia to the rest of the world.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects the rich diversity of the 17 million passengers who pass through our terminals every year.

By joining the CEOs for Gender Equity initiative, Perth Airport underscores its dedication to promoting gender equity across its operations and leadership.

We are also pushing ahead with our planning and delivery of a multi-billion-dollar investment program to deliver a new runway, new terminal facilities, two multi-storey carparks with major road upgrades, and our first hotel.

These projects will not only transform Perth Airport but provide opportunities to enhance gender equity in traditionally male-dominated sectors such as construction and aviation.

Construction has already commenced on the first multi-storey carpark and design is well underway for our New Terminal. I am proud that these projects are both being led by women who are respected leaders in our business.

Perth Airport has several initiatives to support gender equity, including a Women in Leadership Program, mentorship opportunities, flexible working arrangements, and equity-focused hiring practices.

Currently, women represent 36% of the workforce, and the airport is committed to increasing this representation.

By partnering with CEOs for Gender Equity, Perth Airport aligns itself with other Western Australian leaders in the shared goal of creating a more equitable workforce and society for all.
