NSW Minerals Council - Industry events

The NSW mining industry’s top priority remains a healthy workforce as we continue safe operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. To find out how our industry is responding to the virus, please go to the dedicated COVID-19 page on our website.
Due to the current restrictions on public gatherings and the uncertainty around when these rules may be relaxed for events into the future, it has been determined that NSW Minerals Council will not be proceeding with our planned events this year.
It will affect the following events which were due to be held in 2020: 

• Voice for Mining Family Day (Newcastle)
• The NSW Mining HSEC Conference and Awards (Hunter Valley)

We apologise for not being able to proceed with the events as planned. This decision has been taken in line with public health advice and current government restrictions on public gatherings, as well as with everyone’s health and safety in mind.

HSEC Awards

The 2020 Health, Safety, Environment and Community Excellence Awards will not proceed this year. If you’ve started working on an entry in one of our four categories, these awards will be back in 2021 and we would ask you to submit your entry next year. 

Voice for Mining Family Day

We love supporting the Newcastle Knights. And we appreciate all the support the Newcastle Knights and their players have given us and our mining families over the years. 
While the NRL season has resumed, Voice for Mining Family Day will not proceed in its normal format due to restrictions on gatherings and with the health and safety of mining families and footy fans at the forefront.
The team will still play in their replica hi-vis jerseys, and we encourage mining families and footy fans to support the Newcastle Knights via social media and by signing up to be part of Voice for Mining.
If you have any questions about how COVID-19 has affected our planned events please contact us on (02) 9274 1400 or events@nswmining.com.au.
