"While attracting and hiring qualified women in a male-dominated industry can prove to be a challenge, organisations such as Transport Women Australia and Trans-Help Foundation have done a great deal in getting women involved in the transport sector," Mr Taylor said. "These organisations not only promote effective networking and mentoring for women within the industry, they also provide clear career paths and recognition for women who are working in, or want to work in the transport industry. "Along with promoting professional, sustainable and safe practices, these organisations have also contributed enormously to the psychological well-being of truck drivers and families involved in the transport industry." According to a recent report conducted by the Transport Logistics Centre, the average age of truck drivers in Other research from the Victorian Department of Transport also shows that 32 per cent of current truck drivers will be over 70 years old by 2026. Mr Taylor said finding ways to replace over 30 per cent of the workforce is crucial for the survival and prosperity of the transport industry, and government and business action aimed at getting women involved is a critical first step. "The annual $10,000 Victorian Government scholarship for females starting a post-graduate degree in the freight, logistics and/or marine-related fields along with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, Strategix Training program are great initiatives to get women involved in the industry," he said. According to Mr Taylor, the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics is forecasting an 80 per cent rise in Australia's total freight task between now and 2030; given this, transport businesses that aim to attract and retain women will be more resilient to future skills shortages. "Women make up 50 per cent of the population and currently present the transport industry with a large and untapped pool of workers," he said. "All should be done to encourage and nurture additional female participation."
