Women in Industrial (WIN)

What Women in Industrial (WIN) does

Women in Industrial (WIN) is an Australian non-profit industry body founded in June 2019 in Sydney by Ellen Slaven, General Manager of Property Services at Goodman. Its mission is to attract, develop, and retain women in Australia's industrial and logistics property sector, where female representation in agency roles is reported at only 4%. WIN serves two primary constituencies: women at all career stages interested in entering or progressing in industrial property (from high-school students through mid-career professionals) and the institutional property organizations that employ them. Its offering is a professional network rather than a technology product — the organization explicitly does not develop proprietary technology, and its platform consists of in-person and digital channels rather than software infrastructure.

WIN's core services include a network of regional events held across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth; a website portal (womeninindustrial.com.au) for job listings, event registration, and editorial content; mentorship and career development pathways; scholarship and graduate-program pipelines delivered through member organizations; and industry research such as the 2023 'Through the Looking Glass' report. Distribution is primarily direct-to-corporate via its 18 member organizations (Goodman, Charter Hall, GPT Group, Frasers Property Industrial, CBRE, JLL, 151 Property, ESR Australia, Mirvac, Knight Frank, TMX Transform, Cushman & Wakefield, Realterm, AsheMorgan, ISPT, Vaughan Constructions, Greystar, and Lendlease), supplemented by academic partnerships with Western Sydney University and the University of Technology Sydney, and an industry alliance with the Property Council of Australia.

WIN's business model is member-driven: institutional property developers, owners, fund managers, and agencies pay recurring membership fees and underwrite events, in return for access to a curated female talent pipeline, employer branding, and a vehicle for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. No public pricing is disclosed and no individual membership is sold. The Australian industrial and logistics sector that WIN serves is valued at approximately A$286 billion and forecast by CBRE Research to grow to A$424 billion by 2026, requiring roughly 500,000 sqm of new space per annum to meet e-commerce-driven demand — a structural tailwind for the talent-supply problem WIN exists to address.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC): Australian chapter of NAWIC providing support, networking, and professional development for women in construction. Most directly comparable peer — women-focused industry network with chapters, events, and member organizations in an adjacent industrial-adjacent sector.

Broad incumbents

• CREW Network (Commercial Real Estate Women): Global network advancing women in commercial real estate with 13,000+ members across 80+ chapters. Directly comparable to WIN as a women-in-real-estate professional network, though broader in scope (all CRE sectors vs WIN's industrial focus) and larger scale.

Regional players

• Women in Property (UK): UK-based network supporting women in the built environment, including property and construction. Comparable to WIN's model of industry-led women-focused networking, education, and mentoring, but operating in a different geography (UK vs Australia).
• Women in Real Estate (WIRE): US-based network for women in commercial real estate. Comparable model of women-focused networking and career development in property, but focused on the US market rather than Australia.

Emerging players

• Australian Women in Resources Alliance (AWRA): Australian non-profit championing gender diversity in the resources sector (mining, oil & gas). Operates a comparable model to WIN with industry-body backing, networking, scholarships, and advocacy — for a different but adjacent heavy-industry sector.
• Real Estate Women's (REW): Forum/network for women leaders in real estate and related industries. Comparable to WIN in mission (advancing women in property) but operates at a more senior executive level rather than across the career spectrum.

Others

• CREW Boston / NAWIC US chapters: Comparable industry-affiliated women-in-construction networks in other markets. These show the template WIN could follow for international expansion, providing benchmark models for women-focused industry networks.
• Male Champions of Change (MCC): Australian initiative advancing gender equality in workplaces across industries. WIN's industry-specific model is a sector-vertical counterpart to MCC's broader cross-industry DEI leadership model.
• Australian Institute of Building (AIB): Australian professional body for the building industry with DEI initiatives. Functions as a sector-specific industry body similar to WIN's positioning, with adjacent industrial/construction overlap.
• Property Council of Australia (PCA) - 500 Women in Property: PCA's 500 Women in Property initiative and broader DEI programs overlap with WIN's mission of advancing women in Australian property. PCA is a direct partner of WIN and the closest industry-body analogue operating in the same Australian property ecosystem.
