South Australians are urged to nominate women who are making a positive impact in their community for the South Australian Women’s Honour Roll, with nominations opening today to mark International Women’s Day.
Established in 2008, the Women’s Honour Roll is open to new inductees every two years and provides formal recognition to women making significant contributions in metropolitan, regional and remote areas of the state.
Selected inductees will be announced in November and will have their names and achievements published in a formal Women’s Honour Roll document, listing and acknowledging all nominees.
In a bid to boost national recognition for their contributions, inductees are also nominated for the Australian of the Year Awards.
Minister for Women Katrine Hildyard says the Women’s Honour Roll acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of women in our community and their commitment to affecting change to ensure we can all live in a welcoming, inclusive, safe and thriving community.
“International Women’s Day is a global day to celebrate the social, political and economic achievements of women, and what better day to open nominations for the South Australian Women’s Honour Roll.” she says.
“There are so many South Australian women whose energy, passion, determination and commitment makes a huge difference in the lives of others and across our community.”
She urges people to nominate women they respect and admire, particularly those women who may not have been publicly recognised for their work.
“I urge South Australians to nominate women whose efforts they find inspiring, especially those quiet achievers who might not otherwise seek recognition for their work and who haven’t been publicly congratulated for their efforts.”
Nominations for the 2023 Women’s Honour Roll close on 23 June 2023.
