In this episode we present audio from the Women in Defence Network's breakfast session held at Indo-Pacific 2025 that was hosted by AtkinsRéalis and supported by Women in Nuclear Australia and Women’s Defence Connection. The session explored the theme of 125 years of the Royal Australian Navy: legacy, leadership, and a nuclear-propelled future.
Beth Fitzpatrick, AtkinsRéalis' Defence Consulting Lead for Australia, confirms the importance to AtkinsRéalis of sponsoring the event and introduces our speakers, Commander Kathryn Jones of the Royal Australian Navy followed by Pamela Naidoo-Ameglio from Exige. The morning examined the evolution of women’s service in the RAN, the leadership required to sustain meaningful progress, and the cultural and workforce foundations needed to support Australia’s nuclear-powered submarine capability.
