The South Australian Government has announced $20,000 in scholarship funding is now available for those working to better the working conditions of women throughout the state.

 

The funding, under the Augusta Zadow Scholarship, will see $10,000 awarded to two researchwers who assist with OHS improvements undertaken by, or for, the benefit of women in South Australia.

 

The Scholarship is named in honour of Augusta Zadow, who became the first female Inspector of Factories in South Australia. Her work is considered crucial in securing better conditions for employees in factories, particularly for women and children.
