Tasmania’s community champions, change-makers and inspirational female leaders have the opportunity to be recognised with nominations open for the 2027 Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women and the Inspiring Young Women’s Award.

The Inspiring Young Women’s Award will be presented for the first time in 2027. This new award shines a light on young Tasmanian women, including those with a trans or non‑binary experience, who show exceptional potential, initiative and achievement.

It celebrates young people who are creating positive change in their communities through their effort, passion and self‑motivation. Whether they are leading, advocating, creating or supporting others, these emerging leaders are making a real difference.

The Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women celebrates women whose achievements and leadership have had a significant and enduring impact. The Roll stimulates community involvement in the processes of research and discovery about women’s historical and contemporary contributions to Tasmania, ensuring these achievements are given full recognition and not forgotten in the passage of time.

The two awards are about recognising the extraordinary contributions of women at every stage of life, from those whose work has created lasting change to young women who are shaping Tasmania’s future.

Members of the public, community groups and organisations are encouraged to nominate women and young women whose contributions deserve recognition.

Nominations for both awards are open from Tuesday 2 June 2026 until Wednesday 30 September 2026.
