Tasmanian Honour Roll

Leadership of Tasmanian women is recognised in Tasmania by the Tasmanian Honour Roll. 

The Honour Roll recognises inspiring Tasmanian women from all walks of life and backgrounds who have made an impact at local, state, national or international level. The inductees’ life stories and achievements, presented in their individual biographies, serve as excellent examples for all Tasmanians.

It provides an overview of women’s leadership initiatives, and statistics on the status of women in leadership positions at that time in Australia, broken down by State and Territory.
