A transition plan should consider all options, and transforming Australia’s electricity generation is not a matter of choosing just one technology for the future. It is using a combination of existing and emerging technologies, in a structural policy environment consistent with emissions reductions and meeting the demand for electricity. A secure energy future will be reliant on these policy approaches being successfully deployed.

Engineers Australian examines the need for an engineering pipeline strategy. 

The purpose of this project was to investigate, identify and assess the barriers confronting women in engineering in order to find ways to redress the underrepresentation of women in the profession. This was completed as a partnership with Engineers Australia and Monash University as part of the Monash Industry Team Initiative (MITI) project.
