Established in 2001, the Women’s Honour Roll celebrates the achievements of Victorian women in a wide range of fields including women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal women, women with a disability, and younger, regional and rural women.

“I am calling for local nominations for the Victorian Honour Roll of Women for 2020,” Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh said. “It is important that we recognise and celebrate women in our rural and regional communities who are making extraordinary contributions through their vision, leadership, commitment and hard work."More than 600 Victorian women have been inducted onto the roll since 2001.

“If people know of a local woman who is a genuine role model through her contribution to her community then nominating her for the Victorian Honour Roll of Women is a tremendous way of saying thank you,” Mr Walsh said.

Nominees must be either born in Victoria, have spent a considerable part of their life in Victoria or have made a significant contribution to Victoria.

Nominations close on Sunday, August 18 and can be lodged online at vic.gov.au/victorian-honour-roll-women-program
