The Nationals’ Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, is encouraging community members to nominate remarkable women for The Victorian Honour Roll of Women. The Honour Roll recognises women demonstrating remarkable leadership and excellence in their field of expertise, interest, or endeavour, or through their commitment to the community.
The program aims to celebrate and elevate the incredible contributions of Victorian women to Victoria, Australia and beyond.
Women can be nominated under one of 4 categories:
- Change Agent
- Emerging Leader
- Local Champion
- Trailblazer
All nominees must:
- be a woman – we welcome nominations from or on behalf of trans women, sistergirls and gender diverse people
- have been born in Victoria, or have spent a considerable part of their life in the state
- have made a significant and lasting contribution at a local, state, national or international level.
Nominations of diverse women including First Nations Women, women living with disability, women of colour, women from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds, the LGBTIQA+ community and women from regional and rural communities are encouraged.
“I come from a lineage of strong, influential women who have made meaningful contributions to their communities. This is a wonderful opportunity to not only celebrate the incredible women around us but also to express our gratitude for their dedication to progress and growth,” said Ms Benham.
Further information and applications can be accessed online at https://www.vic.gov.au/honour-roll-women
Nominations close at 11:59 pm, Sunday 16 March 2025.
