Since its inception in 2001, the Victorian Honour Roll for Women has acknowledged and celebrated hundreds of extraordinary women and the long lasting contributions they have made to Victoria, and more broadly, Australia. Importantly, they have also paved the way for the young women of today to become the leaders and visionaries of tomorrow, as they excel in their chosen fields of expertise.

Over the past 55 years, inductees have all made positive changes to their communities, which will hopefully inspire women from all walks of life to excel in their chosen field of expertise, while also fully and equally participating in the social fabric of our society. Collectively, their successes have shaped communities across Victoria, and have been recognised on a local, national and international level.

It is important that we publicly recognise, pay tribute and celebrate the commitment, energy, passion and contributions of exceptional women who act as inspiring role models and motivate women across all generations and from all walks of life.
