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.
