Enhancing the performance and protection of our frontline workforce by addressing inadequate PPE for women in high-risk workforces
Start-up
Historically , resource supply chains have focused primarily on the male workforce , resulting in Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) that does not cater to women ' s anatomical needs . This can affect comfort and performance on the frontlines . UndaTech is developing fire-safe , ergonomically female-focused products that integrate seamlessly with PPE for women operating in dynamic and diverse , high-risk environments .
The company has initiated comprehensive research into ADF female duty requirements , as well as the interaction between standard-issued equipment and women ' s health needs . It has also initiated the prototype development of optimised bras and period-proof briefs for physically demanding conditions .
UndaTech will soon begin prototype testing with the Royal Australian Navy , using direct feedback from activeduty personnel to refine designs , and meet the real-world demands of servicewomen .
