And that's a wrap for the 2024 WIMWA (Women in Mining and Resources WA ) Summit! Our team cannot wait to bring back their learnings to site. They thoroughly enjoyed connecting with people from across the mining industry and left feeling more a part of the community than ever before. This year's speakers inspired us with insights on building community, embracing curiosity, personal growth, and challenging the myth of meritocracy, among other thought-provoking topics. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth for a chat, and to the team at Boffins Books for once again partnering with us on our giveaways. We're already counting down the days until next year's conference! A special shoutout to all the inspiring speakers and organisers who made this event such a success, and to our very own Rumbie for jumping up on stage a couple of times! Your energy and enthusiasm truly shone through and made us all so proud.

We're proud to be continuing our support of the annual WIMWA (Women in Mining and Resources WA ) Summit!

If you're attending, make sure to stop by our booth to meet our team, explore career opportunities, and discover how the work we do each day at our Greenbushes Lithium Operation is helping to build a better future. We're also thrilled to partner again with the wonderful Boffins Books, offering attendees an exclusive $10 discount on purchases at Boffins' WIMWA booth.

We were thrilled to be back at Greenbushes Primary School today for their annual science fair! Our team loved getting to share the fun side of the science behind what they do each day. We hope the experience sparked curiosity in the students and left a lasting impression to help drive the next generation of thinkers, explorers, and problem-solvers. Highlights included launching canister rockets, exploring the effects of liquid nitrogen on marshmallow texture, turning a lemon into a battery, and running relay stations on conservation and fauna. We also had a photo booth, magnetic separation and separation based on sizing (screening/sieving) activities and a pH indicator experiment.

Our Greenbushes Lithium Operation is officially the first mine in Australia to commit to an independent audit to the IRMA Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA). This is a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to responsible mining and transparency. The decision to volunteer for this thorough audit process reflects Talison’s dedication to responsible mining practices and to engage openly with our stakeholders. The IRMA audit, conducted by SCS Global Services, will involve a comprehensive desktop review followed by an onsite audit.

We’re proud that the work we do each day is helping contribute to the global transition to cleaner energy, while also supporting the communities that support us.

At Talison, family matters. This is why we recently introduced a new parental leave guideline focused on enhancing accessibility, flexibility, and gender equity. Click on the pictures below to see how the new guideline will benefit employees like Jade, Mikaela, David, Jacqueline, and Louis. Our new guideline, informed by best-practice research and employee feedback, brings about substantial improvements in parental leave entitlements, reflecting our commitment to supporting our employees at every stage of their journey. Here's a glimpse of some of our significantly improved entitlements: - Reduced Eligibility Period: Employees are now eligible to take parental leave after just six months of service with Talison. - 26 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave for the Primary Caregiver: Permanent employees designated as the primary caregiver will be entitled to 26 weeks of paid parental leave, with the option to take it at half-pay. - Continued Superannuation Payments: Primary caregivers will continue to receive superannuation payments for up to 12 months, even while on both paid and unpaid leave. - Fertility Treatment Leave: Recognising the importance of fertility treatment, eligible employees are entitled to up to 5 days of paid fertility treatment leave per calendar year. Furthermore, employees supporting their partners undergoing fertility treatment can access up to 2 days of paid fertility treatment leave. We're committed to supporting an inclusive workplace with family-friendly policies that benefit all employees and will continue to review and improve our practices where possible to do so.
