The workshops provided a great opportunity for local businesses to better understand key issues for working with Inland Rail including capability statement development, tendering, contract management, and health, safety and environmental compliance.

Participants were offered expert tips and access to practical tools to help ensure they were in the best possible position to work as suppliers of goods and services to Inland Rail.

In total, 11 workshops – four face to face in Moree and Narrabri and seven online – were held over this 10-month period. The workshops were followed by one-on-one mentoring sessions which presented local suppliers an opportunity to gain professional insights into how best to position themselves for Inland Rail success.
