The SSTUWA Women’s Conference is a catalyst, an opportunity for women within our union from different parts of WA, from different workplaces and with different goals to fight inequality and to come together. As a union we believe in the power of women. Women who inspire are women who are making a difference and understand how to conquer both internal and external barriers to achieve their goals. Join us for this inspiring event.

2017 West Australian of the Year - Aboriginal Category Award Winner
Gina Williams is an Aboriginal singer/ songwriter who writes contemporary songs in the Noongar language about storytelling, land and culture. As a young child she was placed in foster care and grew up knowing very little about her heritage; leaving her longing to belong and connect with her history. For the last 7 years, Gina has been committed to preserving Noongar language and does so by ensuring that she has the respect and blessing of the Elders who she honours through her music.
“…she takes this old, old language, and writes and sings these beautiful songs so that we in the audience cannot help but fall in love with the romance of it all…” - Archie Roach- Australian Icon and National Treasure
