Mrs Kyra Galante

Mrs Kyra Galante (Bonney) is a Guburn (Kupurn) woman from the Goldfields region of Western Australia, having connections to Noongar Country.

Before joining Worley Australia, Mrs Galante had vast years of experience delivering Indigenous engagement, recruitment, candidate selection, mentoring, program management and economic development across various industries across Australia.

Mrs Galante is Worley Australia’s First Nations Participation Director. As a proud Indigenous woman with over 20 years’ experience, she is facilitating partnerships between Worley Australia and Indigenous businesses to create positive socio-economic impact with a focus of fostering positive business partnerships with Indigenous companies and stakeholders, including Traditional Owners. As well as this, Mrs Galante’s work involves providing guidance to Worley and our customers to facilitate the energy transition’s alignment with Indigenous cultural values to protect land, water and heritage.

Mrs Galante supports the ANZ Leadership team to lead and implement Worley’s Reconciliation Action Plan. She is excited about the opportunity to create meaningful change within Worley and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people nationally. Mrs Galante wears many hats in giving back to her community and was proud to be invited as an ambassador for WA in the ‘Voice to Parliament’ campaign, which is significant in Worley’s support of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. She has recently joined the board of Reconciliation WA which drives Truth Telling to then understand what practical actions are needed before reconciliation.

She has won several significant awards for her work in inclusive participation, including the Western Australian Chamber of Minerals and Energy Most Outstanding Woman in Resources Award. The award recognises individuals and organisations working to build a world-class industry that provides attractive career opportunities and enhance the recognition and participation of women in the sector. Mrs Galante is also among the first alumni cohort to graduate from the Master of Indigenous Business Leadership program at Monash in 2022. She remarked: "If we want a sustainable future that heals our land and waterways, then we need sustainable energy that cares for our country. Australia will benefit from this for generations to come."
