As part of its ongoing focus on diversity and inclusion, SKYCITY has signed as a Platinum Partner of Women in Gaming Australasia (WGA), broadening the industry body’s reach to New Zealand, Adelaide and Darwin.

The industry-for-industry body is dedicated to empowering women working in, or looking to work in, the thriving and fast-paced gaming industry in Australasia. This includes work that removes barriers and increases opportunities for the advancement of women in the industry, all of which aligns strongly with SKYCITY’s values, says Claire Walker, SKYCITY Group General Manager Human Resources.

“At SKYCITY our focus on diversity and inclusion is not only about doing what’s right, but also about reflecting the diversity of our customers and community, and a recognition that diversity is a sustainable competitive advantage in the long term,” says Walker.

SKYCITY Hamilton General Manager, Michelle Baillie, was selected by SKYCITY to represent the company on the Board of WGA, bringing with her 24 years’ operational and senior management experience in the industry.
