At Turf NSW we support everyone who works in our industry, but this event is targeted specifically to bring together the women of turf production and the recognise the vital role they play in keeping our industry strong.
Presentations
Amanda Smyth
Amanda, along with her husband Dean, are the owners of Wild Horse Turf in Queensland and Amanda is on the Turf Queensland Board in the role of President. Outside the turf world, she is a passionate fundraiser for the Endeavour Foundation through the Kenny’s Angels Rally Team, helping raise awareness and support for people with intellectual disabilities.

Patrick Fry, Greenfields Consulting
Patrick has recently completed an exciting turf levy funded project on Usage, Attitudes and Contribution of Natural Turf. This project provides insights into consumers attitudes towards natural turf as well as the amazing value turf contributes to Australia. Patrick will share some of those insights which will assist in planning marketing and promotion of turf as well as future projects.
Turf Industry Structure
There are a lot of working parts that make up the turf industry. From different associations, levy management and projects. This session will unravel the confusion, so you know how your membership and levy fees are managed and how your industry is being supported. It will also be a chance to contribute ideas and directions for the industry moving forward.
Work Life Balance
Today's event will allow you to sit back and relax and take some time for yourself. We will share ideas on how to juggle the craziness of our days and why the work life balance is so important to keep you functioning at your best.
