Nominations are now open for the Augusta Zadow Awards, which offer $25,000 in grant funding to recognise health and safety initiatives that support young workers and women in the workplace.

Now in their 20th year, these awards recognise the work of South Australia’s first female inspector of factories, Augusta Zadow, who fought for the work health and safety rights of women and young workers.

In recognition of her pioneering efforts, SafeWork SA established the Augusta Zadow Awards to support initiatives, research or further education that improves the health and safety for women and young workers in South Australia.
