BubDesk is Perth’s unique co-working space, a blend of shared workspace and childcare, that encourages new parents to continue on with their careers or businesses.
Now in its second year, BubDesk is expanding its service to a broader network of branches, including a CBD location, arming businesses with tools they need to attract & retain top talent.
Businesses already using the service find that their staff are happier to return to work earlier and in a more full time capacity when given the opportunity to work close by their child. We ensure that working professionals experience minimal disruption and exceptional support in a productive workplace, free from the distractions of working from home.
We are inviting WASMA members to take this 2 minute survey to gauge interest in supporting your team with either an in-house BubDesk branch or an offsite branch with fellow WASMA members.

The Mining Magazine awards celebrate innovation and commitment to advancing the face of mining, not just technologically but also sustainably and in an environmentally respectful manner.
We are delighted to learn that WASMA’s Premium Partner Sandvik has won the Drill and Blast Award. Congratulations guys
Sandvik DD422iE
Sandvik launched the first battery-trammed mining jumbo, the DD422iE, in 2016. By using electric energy from an on-board battery during tramming, the DD422iE produces zero emissions while maneuvering between headings. Using the mine’s existing electric infrastructure, Sandvik drive-line technology enables the battery to recharge during the drilling cycle. The battery will even recharge while DD422iE is tramming downhill, using energy generated by the braking system.
The alumni is collecting images from “Days Gone By” for the next annual ball November 11 2017. If you have any photos of your time at WASM that you would like to share could you let Ann know at admin@wasma.com.au
