Water is our most precious resource. It’s up to all of us to help preserve and protect it for generations to come. This World Water Day (March 22) let’s take a moment to appreciate our precious water resources and the small steps we can take to protect them. Simple actions like fixing leaks, using water wisely, and being mindful of our daily habits can make a big difference. It’s also a great time to refresh your Permanent Water Saving Rules knowledge. https://lnkd.in/g9tcXDxV #WorldWaterDay #CherishEveryDrop #MoreThanWater

Last week, we joined 120 business and community leaders at the Federation University Ballarat Showcase. Our General Manager of People, Culture & Safety, Alisha Bedggood, spoke on a guest panel, sharing insights into our experience with the Co-Operative University model. Last year, we welcomed two undergraduate students into our ICT & Digital division for paid placements. These students weren’t just observers—they became part of the team, gaining hands-on experience while contributing fresh perspectives, improving collaboration, and even helping to create new efficiencies. Co-op placements are an important part of our early careers approach, helping to build a strong talent pipeline for our region and the water sector more broadly. We look forward to welcoming our next co-op students soon! #EarlyCareers #FutureTalent #MoreThanWater
