Purpose

The Victorian Honour Roll of Women acknowledges and celebrates the achievements of women in Victoria. It’s one way that outstanding women leaders receive the recognition they deserve for their contributions.

Overview

The Victorian Honour Roll of Women recognises women who show remarkable leadership and excellence in their:

  • field of expertise, interest, or endeavour
  • commitment to the community.

The Honour Roll elevates the significant contributions of Victorian women. This includes trans women and gender diverse people.

The Honour Roll works to counter restrictive and harmful gender norms. We do this by increasing the visibility of women as role models and leaders.

The Honour Roll was established in 2001 as part of Victoria's centenary celebrations. Just over 750 women have been inducted into the Honour Roll.

Limitations

Nominations are open to anyone who:

  • is a woman. We welcome nominations for or from trans women, sistergirls and gender diverse people
  • was born in, or have spent a considerable part of their life in Victoria
  • has made a significant and lasting contribution at a local, state, national or international level.

We strongly encourage nominations for diverse women including:

  • First Nations women
  • women living with disability
  • women of colour
  • women from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds
  • women from the LGBTIQA+ community
  • women from regional and rural communities.

Before submitting a nomination, discuss your plans with the nominee and ask their permission to be assessed for the Honour Roll of Women.

Posthumous nominations and self-nominations are welcome.

For posthumous nominees, you may want to discuss the nomination with their family.
