TWF presents Commander Belinda Wood of the Royal Australian Navy: Capability is what counts!
As commander of the HMAS Anzac, the lead ship of the Royal Australian Navy’s Anzac class frigates, Belinda Wood understands that it is capability and teamwork, not gender, that is the foundation to success.
COMMANDER WOOD WILL SPEAK ON:
- her career journey climbing the Australian Naval ranks
- the challenges and tips for working in a male dominated industry
- building a cohesive team and maintaining staff morale on deployments
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Commander Wood joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1992. During her training at the Australian Defence Academy Midshipman, Wood served briefly in HMA Ships Jervis Bay and Tobruk.

Lieutenant Wood completed the Principal Warfare Officer course in 2002; specialising in Anti-Submarine Warfare, and joined HMAS Anzac for Operation SLIPPER duties in the Arabian Gulf. This posting provided an opportunity to participate in the International Coalition Against Terrorism (ICAT) and the conflict against Iraq (Operation FALCONER - Iraq War 2003); culminating in Naval Gunfire in support of the Royal Marines in Iraq.
Lieutenant Commander Wood graduated from the Australian Command and Staff Course in 2010.
