Diversity at the core for Dominique

For Dominique Gill, diversity is important as it creates an environment where different perspectives lead to stronger ideas and solutions.

When I was asked to write about women breaking barriers in construction, Dominique Gill instantly came to mind.

It’s rare to see women running a business in any industry, let alone in construction, and Dominique’s journey with Urban Core is nothing short of inspiring.

Starting from scratch in 2016, she’s built an incredible business recognised as one of Australia’s ‘Fast Starters’ by the Australian Financial Review.

But it’s not just about growth for Dominique – she’s on a mission to do things differently and push for change.

This year, Urban Core has achieved what many might think is impossible: a 50 per cent gender-diverse workforce.

That’s huge in an industry where the figures show that women make up only just over 13 per cent.
