Augusta Zadow was an advocate for women’s rights in the workplace and became South Australia’s first Lady Inspector of Factories in 1895. She was a woman ahead of her time, with many of the working conditions women enjoy today attributable to her.
In recognition of her work, SafeWork SA provides two $10,000 scholarships for projects that will further improve work health and safety for women at work, be that a practical solution, research or further education.
