Health and safety initiatives that support young workers and women in the workplace can receive up to $25,000 in grant funding through SafeWork SA’s 2023 Augusta Zadow Awards.

Nominations for the grants are open until 31 July, and all applicants will have their submissions reviewed by an assessment panel, with shortlisted candidates invited to present to the panel in September.

The awards, which will be announced during October, recognise the pioneering work of South Australia’s first female inspector of factories, Augusta Zadow (1846-1896), who fought for the work health and safety rights of women and young workers.
