This International Women’s Day let's Balance the Scales together.

Balance the Scales is a promise that every woman and girl – regardless of background or identity – should be safe, heard, and free to shape their own lives. Yet in 2026, too many across Australia and the world are still denied these liberties. Discriminatory laws, policies, and practices persist. Gender-based violence remains widespread, and structural barriers block too many from seeking or receiving justice. These barriers are not inevitable. They are built – and they can be dismantled. Equality is not about advantage for some; it's about dignity, safety, and fairness for all. When women and girls stand equal, families are stronger, workplaces are fairer, communities thrive, and society becomes safer for everyone.

OAMS Trainees
We want want to acknowlege our current trainees Claire, Renae, Bre and Tia and recognise their skills, dedication, and contributions that they bring to OAMS as trainees. Here's what they have to say so far about their time at OAMS:

“Hi, I'm Claire, I came to OAMS for work experience and it was a great experience. I was fully emerged in the OAMS community and learnt so much for all the different divisions. This made the decision to get a job here so much easier and the process of applying for the traineeship was really simple. Everyone involved made the process very easy and enjoyable. I've only been here for a little bit, but everyone is very welcoming and happy to help with any of my problems and questions. I would highly recommend a traineeship here if you are looking to gain experience in anything as OAMS has so much to offer”
Claire, Trainee Information & Communications Technology

"My interview and onboarding experience were smooth and supportive; I immediately noticed the warm and friendly environment within the workplace. My team has been incredibly supportive, and my time in the role has helped me grow both personally and professionally"
Renae, Trainee Project Support

“My time at OAMS has been incredibly positive. As a Trainee Finance Officer, I’ve loved building my skills in payroll, invoicing, and account reconciliations. I’ve really enjoyed taking on meaningful responsibilities and being supported by such a helpful and encouraging team as well as consistency learning new things”
Breanna, Trainee Finance Officer

“As a trainee, I’ve gained hands-on experience while applying what I’m learning in a real-world environment. This traineeship has helped me build practical skills and develop confidence in a professional setting. I am loving my experience at OAMS so far, and I would recommend this pathway to others considering a traineeship”
Tia, Trainee Finance Officer
