Other dignitaries in attendance included Brigadier Amanda Williamson – Commanding Officer 13 Brigade and Commodore Ivan Ingham AM – West Australia’s senior Defence representative for all matters of strategic significance.
Congratulations to Roy Hill, Mrs Rinehart, and all of our veterans employed across Roy Hill and the broader Hancock Prospecting companies.
About Roy Hill’s veterans employment program
Mrs Rinehart, who was named Honorary Guardian of Veterans by Solider On in 2023, has long been a strong advocate for serving military personnel, veterans, and their families. Several years ago, Hancock Prospecting launched a new recruitment campaign to create new pathways for veterans to be employed within its mining, agricultural, and energy businesses.
This program has been hugely successful, leading to higher levels of veterans employment across Hancock Prospecting companies, and especially at Roy Hill. Importantly, it has enabled Hancock, Roy, and Mrs Rinehart to acknowledge and recognise the service that our veterans have provided to our nation.
