The Pitch

Mining is a vital industry for NSW and for Australia. Our people are world-class, and NSW mining operations and technical know-how are second to none. 

So what do the next generation NSW miners think we should be doing to keep mining responsibly now and in the future? And what are they working on now as they build careers as the leaders of tomorrow?

Entering its second year, The Pitch is an opportunity for young professionals to pitch their work - planned or completed - to a panel of experts and industry mentors, demonstrating how they contribute to a responsible mining industry. 

If you or someone you know - or work with - would like to join us at the 2024 NSW Mining HSEC Conference to participate in the Pitch, please fill out the form below, and we will contact you.

We can’t wait to celebrate our young people, their aspirations, and their work. 

What are the rules?

Don’t talk about Pitch Club.

But seriously, the rules are pretty simple. If you’re 30 or under and working in NSW, we want to hear about your achievements and how you are contributing to a responsible mining industry in NSW for today and tomorrow. 

You are our future leaders. So tell us something great that you’re working on.  

It might be:

  • Something Innovative 

  • A problem you’re working to solve

  • An example of really good practice

  • A project that you have implemented

  • A piece of research you have worked on 

  • An initiative you have championed and implemented at work 

  • Achieving a first at your mine site or in your business.

We choose the best six entries, and they get seven minutes to make their pitch to colleagues and our industry leaders at the NSW Mining HSEC Conference. 

What’s in it for you?

  • Get recognised by your colleagues for your hard work 

  • A chance to take the stage at the HSEC event and hone your public speaking skills

  • There will be cash prizes for everyone selected to appear in The Pitch, including cash prizes up to $1000!

  • The winner will receive a very special money-can’t-buy experience
