THE State Government is recognising women who have made outstanding contributions to Victoria through the Victorian Honour Roll of Women.
Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins recently opened nominations for the 2025 Victorian Honour Roll of Women, calling on Victorians to nominate someone inspirational to join the roll.
“Whether it’s changing lives in a lab or in their community, the Honour Roll is a chance to highlight incredible women from all walks of life who spend their days making a difference,” she said.
Victorians are encouraged to nominate women from all walks of life, cultural backgrounds, and age groups to be recognised across four categories: Local Champion, Change Agent, Emerging Leader, and Trailblazer.
The Victorian Honour Roll of Women celebrates the outstanding contributions made by Victorian women and acknowledges the many ways in which they make lasting contributions to the community across various fields such as social justice, health science, research, arts, environment, law, media, and education.
Last year’s Honour Roll of 21 inductees included folk musician turned federal court judge Judy Small AM, renowned endocrinologist Associate Professor Ada Cheung, and Yorta Yorta artist and cultural practitioner Aunty Rochelle Patten.
More than 750 women have been inducted since the Honour Roll of Women began in 2001.
Nominations close on Sunday, March 16. For more information or to nominate yourself or someone you know, visit www.vic.gov.au/honour-roll-women.
