Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women

What is the Honour Roll?
The Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women was established in 2005 by the Tasmanian Government to honour Tasmanian women who have made an outstanding contribution to the State.
The Honour 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.
We pay our respects to those members who appear on the Honour Roll.
May they inspire and motivate future generations of young women to make a difference in their own way.
Warning: These pages may contain images of deceased Aboriginal women which may offend Aboriginal and Torres Strait people.
