Women from the South Coast of NSW have a unique opportunity to explore the construction industry, with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital.
The Australian Constructors Association (ACA), supported by the NSW Government, has launched the “It’s Possible” campaign to encourage women—especially those mid-career—to consider switching to the construction industry.
ACA CEO Jon Davies said women with life experience already have the skills to succeed in construction.
“Switching to construction doesn’t mean starting from scratch. Most women who make the transition earn more and find more fulfilling work from day one,” said Mr Davies.
“By offering women the chance to visit active construction sites like the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital, they can witness firsthand the exciting opportunities the industry offers. We just need them to take the first step.”
“It also gives women the chance to see behind the scenes of a project that will leave a legacy for the wider community and support locals for decades to come.”
The Eurobodalla Regional Hospital is currently under construction and will feature a new Emergency Department, an intensive care unit, surgical and operating theatres, and a day-stay surgical unit spread across three clinical levels. Other services will include the region’s first paediatric department and a contemporary maternity unit, supporting high-quality, patient-centred care. The tour offers a chance to explore a major construction site that will shape the future of healthcare on the South Coast of NSW.
The “It’s Possible” campaign features inspiring stories from women who have successfully transitioned into construction from careers in banking, retail, hospitality and more. One of these women, Moretta, who made the leap from claims management to construction as she wanted a change.
“I was stuck at a desk ten hours. It’s the variety of career opportunities that you have in the industry is what I like the most. It’s been a really good change for me,” Moretta said.
The campaign invites women to register for exclusive, one-day-only tours of major infrastructure projects across NSW, including the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital. Participants will get an insider’s look at what it’s like to work in construction and hear from women who have made a successful career switch.
“It’s a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes and witness firsthand the lasting impact this industry has,” said Mr Davies.
“Beyond financial stability and career growth, construction offers the chance to contribute to something that will benefit future generations. If you’ve ever thought about a career change, now’s the time to take that first step.”
The Eurobodalla Regional Hospital site tour will be held on 1 May from 12 – 3pm. Spots are limited.

[Palmer Taliño Taray (middle) during the awarding ceremony of Oceanman Philippines]
DAVAO CITY—13-year-old Palmer Taliño Taray, a teenager from Davao City diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), qualified for the prestigious open water swimming competition in Dubai after triumphantly finishing the first ever Oceanman Philippines held in Siargao on 5 April 2025.
Palmer participated in the 2-kilometer course open water swim and was able to finish it within 1 hour and 44 minutes. However, due to the strong water current in the area, it was recorded that he swam around 3.7 kilometers in total, the farthest he had gone during a swimming competition. About 570 other swimmers participated in the event together with Palmer. This achievement coincides with the celebration of the World Autism Month this April which ignites a global movement aimed at understanding, accepting, and empowering people with autism.
As the first ever finisher with ASD, Palmer ranked first in the inspirational category and is set to participate in Oceanman Dubai later this year. Asked how Palmer offcially qualified for this, Coach Kirt Loven Murcia said, “He was the only one with mental health disability who participated in the event in Siargao, and the organizers were so amazed by his dedication. Per my record, he is also the first with that level of ASD to survive such a well-known swimming competition.”
The 13-year-old swimmer with special needs is the youngest son of Mr. Jerry John Taray and Mrs. Jocelyn Taliño Taray who hailed from Davao City. Following his recent achievements such as finishing the Davao-Samal Cross Channel Swim and the first Oceanman Philippines, Mrs. Taray said, “Our family is extremely proud of Palmer’s achievements, and we are very excited to participate in Oceanman Dubai this year! As his mother, I have seen how Palmer strived hard to get here. He learned discipline and was able to develop a healthy daily routine. We are also glad that we’ve finally discovered his potential, this only proves that children with ASD can also excel in different fields with the right support from family and friends.”![[Palmer together with his mother, Mrs. Jocelyn Taliño Taray, his swimming coaches, and Oceanman Asia Manager Jose Luis Larrosa]](https://slvrdlphn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/public-164)
Joining the first Oceanman Philippines is a significant milestone for Palmer and his swimming coaches because it was an avenue for them to tell the world that people with autism can exceed their limitations and be achievers in their own fields. The key to this is discovering their talents and unlocking new skills by engaging them in new hobbies and activities.
Palmer only started swimming 2 years ago as a form of therapy aimed at improving his motor skills and sensory abilities. Few months after, he has shown significant progress and interest in swimming. However. the journey was challenging not only for Palmer and his family but also for his coaches because they needed to teach him how to follow instructions by implementing strict routines.
Aquatic training for children with ASD has many positive effects, it improves their motor abilities as well as their social behavior and communication skills. Similarly, it helps with emotion regulation because water naturally gives pressure on the body, which can feel calming, and this sensory feedback can help children with autism feel more grounded and in control of their emotions. Further, swimming can be a way to release built-up energy and tension among children with ASD.
In preparation for the upcoming Oceanman open-water swimming competition in Dubai this year, Palmer is set to join more local swimming competitions and marathons across the country to further gain strength and endurance. He will likewise continue his training four times a week together with Coaches Kirt Loven Murcia and Kevin Palabao.
Oceanman is a globally recognized series of open-water swimming competitions that attract swimmers of all levels—from beginners to elite athletes. Established in 2015, it has grown into one of the largest international open-water swimming circuits, hosting events across five continents and drawing over 40,000 participants annually. Amomg the well-known local personalities who joined the recently held Oceanman Philippines together with Palmer were Erwan Heusaff, Nico Bolzico, and Wil Dasovich.

Discover how Pingubuy, a rising cross-border shopping agent, is reshaping international e-commerce amid the China-US trade war. Learn how it works, user experiences, and how it compares to Pingu Exchange.
The ongoing tariff war between the United States and China has reshaped the global economic landscape, giving rise to unforeseen trends and new market players.
As both countries vie for global economic dominance, their clash has opened new paths for international e-commerce, and among the most interesting outcomes is the emergence of platforms like Pingubuy, a Chinese-based purchasing agent service making waves in Southeast Asia and beyond.
This article dives deep into what Pingubuy is, how it works, user experiences, how it compares to other platforms like Pingu Exchange, and what this all means for global consumers and traders in 2025.
What Is Pingubuy?
Pingubuy is an international shopping agent platform that allows users outside China—particularly from Southeast Asia—to purchase products from popular Chinese marketplaces such as Taobao, JD.com, 1688, and Tmall. The platform was launched in 2024 by Borui E-commerce Co., Ltd., with the goal of making Chinese e-commerce accessible to the global market, even when these platforms don’t natively support international transactions.
Pingubuy doesn’t sell products directly. Instead, it acts as a proxy buyer, helping customers overcome common cross-border e-commerce challenges like language barriers, complex logistics, payment method limitations, and lack of international shipping.
How Pingubuy Works: Step-by-Step
- Find Your Product: Users search for items on Chinese platforms like Taobao or 1688.
- Copy & Paste the Link: The product URL is pasted into Pingubuy’s interface.
- Place the Order: Pingubuy translates the product page, calculates prices, and lets the buyer confirm.
-
First Payment: Users pay for the item and local shipping in China.
-
Warehouse Processing: The item arrives at Pingubuy’s warehouse, where it’s temporarily stored.
-
Second Payment: Buyers pay for international shipping and choose shipping options.

- Fast International Shipping: Many users report receiving large packages within a week, even across continents.
-
Affordability: Pingubuy’s shipping rates and service fees are often praised as lower than competitors.
-
User Interface: Clean design, language options, and smooth navigation make the platform beginner-friendly.
-
Customer Engagement: A responsive Discord community and support team help users with order issues or advice.

- Sizing Issues: Some users report inaccurate sizing, especially for footwear and clothing.
-
Service Coverage Gaps: Limited availability in certain regions like Canada frustrates some users.
-
Trust & Legitimacy Questions: Low trust scores on third-party verification sites raise concerns about transparency.
-
No Crypto Payments: Currently, Pingubuy does not support payments via cryptocurrency.
Pingubuy vs. Pingu Exchange: Different Tools for Different Goals
While Pingubuy is focused on cross-border product purchases, Pingu Exchange operates in the crypto and forex trading space. Despite sharing the “Pingu” name, they serve entirely different user bases.

Pingu Exchange and the PENGU Ecosystem
Pingu Exchange, built on the Arbitrum blockchain, is a decentralized, non-custodial platform for trading perpetual contracts in crypto and forex markets.
It supports:
- Up to 100× leverage
-
Web3 wallet integration
-
Advanced trading tools (limit/market/stop orders)
-
Real yield for liquidity providers
Its meme coin, PENGU, launched on Solana, has attracted fans from the NFT and DeFi communities, building a tight-knit ecosystem that combines humor, utility, and speculative trading.
Which One Should You Use?
The answer depends on what you’re trying to do:
- Use Pingubuy if:
2. Use Pingu Exchange if:
Conclusion
Both Pingubuy and Pingu Exchange are products of a rapidly shifting global economy where decentralized finance, borderless commerce, and tech-savvy consumers are rewriting the rules. While Pingubuy democratizes access to Chinese products, Pingu Exchange pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in decentralized finance.
In the wake of the China-US trade war and the changing digital economy, platforms like these aren’t just alternatives—they represent the future of commerce and trade.
Whether you’re shopping for a panda plushie or trading ETH at 50× leverage, the tools are now in your hands. Choose wisely.
