Aim of the Summit
The Mining Industry Summit 2026: Building Respect brings together leaders from across the Western Australian mining industry to build meaningful change in workplace culture.
The inaugural Mining Industry Summit in 2023 sparked critical conversations and elevated awareness of psychosocial safety across the sector. As the industry’s understanding of psychosocial risks has matured, the focus now shifts from awareness to action. This year’s event is centred on embedding lasting change through practical insights and real-world perspectives on creating safe, inclusive and high-performing workplaces.
About the Summit
Led by Summit host Holly Ransom, the 2026 program features speakers, interviews and panel discussions from respected experts across government, industry and academia. Keynote speakers include former Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins AO, and ARC Laureate Fellow, John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker.
Funded by the Government of Western Australia through its Mental Awareness, Respect and Safety (MARS) Program, this event is free to attend for the WA mining industry. Attendees will include leaders from across the WA mining sector who can contribute to driving and influencing lasting cultural change. This includes board members, site senior executives, operational/HSE/HR leaders, health and safety representatives and frontline workers.
This is more than a conference - it’s a collective commitment to shaping a stronger, more sustainable mining industry.
