Nominations now open for Victorian Women’s Honour Roll 

Nominations of women who have made outstanding contributions to Victoria through the Victorian Honour Roll of Women are now open, Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins has announced. 

Minister Hutchins opened nominations for the 2025 Victorian Honour Roll of Women, calling on Victorians to nominate someone inspirational to join the Roll, with Victorian citizens 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. 

“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,” the Minister said. 

“The Honour Roll recognises outstanding and determined women who lead in their fields, are strengthening their communities or have bright futures ahead of them.”

“The inductees serve as role models for everyone as we strive towards gender equality, so if you know someone who deserves to be recognised among these remarkable women, please nominate them now.”

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. 

Women from fields including social justice, health science, research, arts, environment, law, media and education are eligible. 

More than 750 women have been inducted since the Honour Roll of Women began in 2001. Nominations open today and close on Sunday 16 March. To find out more and nominate yourself or someone you know, visit  vic.gov.au/honour-roll-women.
