Congratulations to Adam Dunstan, winner of the 2020 Rio Tinto Gove Gender Diversity Champion. Adam is committed to seeing more women in trades and particularly across the resources industry. Having grown up with six sisters, three of whom are in traditionally- male trades, it’s the norm for him.

He has helped GEMCO achieve 54% female representation across 11 apprentice positions in electrical, mechanical and automotive electrical trades. Adam’s goal is to increase apprentice numbers to 20 across four departments, providing a sustainable pipeline of development that will ensure diversity in the industry for the long-term future.
