On the Right Track Podcast

The On the Right Track podcast aims to support women, champion diversity, and demystify what it’s like to work in rail. Each episode tackles challenges head-on while celebrating the incredible opportunities available across this essential sector.

You’ll hear panel discussions, one-on-one interviews, and insights from both emerging professionals and established leaders. We’re bringing male allies into the conversation too – because meaningful cultural transformation takes all of us.

This podcast is proudly brought to you by the Australasian Railway Association and supported by Siemens Mobility sharing real experiences, challenges, and opportunities for women in rail.
