Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women 2025

The Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women recognises and celebrates Tasmanian women and women’s organisations that have made a significant contribution locally, nationally or internationally.

The Honour Roll encourages people in the community to discover more about the contributions and achievements of Tasmanian women and women’s organisations throughout the State. It preserves their stories as historical records, to ensure they are not forgotten in the passage of time, and can inspire future generations.

The Honour Roll includes women from all occupations and fields of endeavour including community service, humanitarian pursuits, business, science and technology, the arts, sport, education, medicine and the environment.

-

Nominations for the 2025 Induction open at 9:00am on 31 March 2024, and close at midnight on 30 September 2024.

Late nominations will not be accepted.

The Honour Roll GUIDELINES are published on the www.women.tas.gov.au website, but can also be found here.

We encourage nominations of women and organisations representing diverse communities, including Aboriginal women, women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those from the LGBTIQA+ community.

Please confirm you have read and understood the Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women GUIDELINES.

Women and women’s organisations that have made a significant contribution at a local, national or international level in their field of endeavour can be nominated.

Inductees can be recognised for a range of contributions, such as grassroots community work; helping vulnerable people; world-class work in cutting-edge fields; or business success.

Nominations for women’s organisations should be for the over-arching body, not subsidiary branches of organisations.
Nominations for women’s organisations that are no longer operating can also be accepted.

The Honour Roll welcomes nominations for women and women’s organisations across a range of areas of excellence, as listed in the GUIDELINES.

Further details are listed in the NOMINATION section of this form, and in the Honour Roll GUIDELINES.
