About WISTA & WISTA Australia
Formed in 1974, the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA International) is a global organisation connecting female executives and decision-makers around the world. WISTA International serves as a connector for its network of more than 3,000 female professionals from all sectors of the maritime industry.
52 countries support a National WISTA Association (NWA), each of which in turn is a member of and is guided by WISTA International. NWAs provide in-country and regional networking, business and skill-building opportunities, corporate visibility, and also facilitate relationships within the industry.
On a global scale, WISTA members have access to an incredibly diverse network of executives in the shipping and trading field on whom they can call for referrals, connections, advice or business collaborations.
WISTA Australia Inc. is a non-profit organisation established in 2011 for women within the shipping and trade sectors to promote networking and educational opportunities for female participants in these industries for the betterment of the Australian and international trade.
Our aim is to provide an alternative networking, mentoring and educational opportunity to women within these sectors. We meet on a regular basis and organise either a visit to a ship yard, vessel, port or trading relating facility. We also organise short seminars, events and now webinars with ad-hoc speakers who provide guidelines or information on relevant topic for the industry.
