Ms Liz Swain

Liz was employed for over four decades at Rio Tinto’s Bell Bay Aluminium, working as a metallurgist, role model for women in industry and business leader.  She is a former Tasmanian Business Woman of the Year and more recently was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (AM).

Since retiring from full-time employment, Liz has undertaken numerous not-for-profit directorships including water and sewerage, disability, aged care, community banking, tourism, employment and training, strata management and sport. In these roles, she has continued to improve her skills in governance, risk mitigation, change management, strategic planning and finance.

Liz and Max are based in Coles Bay and enjoy travelling, gardening, swimming, boating, fishing, and the beloved grandchildren.

Liz has been a strong mentor and advocate for empowering women in Tasmanian communities, with a particular focus on opportunities for women in industry.
