2011 South Australian Women's Honour Roll

Established in 2008 the Honour Roll acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of women in our community and their commitment to effecting change to ensure that we live in a safer and more inclusive society. It also recognises that many women contribute countless hours to assist others in the community. These women too often go unrewarded.

The Honour Roll introduces 20 outstanding South Australian women and also celebrates the 456 women who have been nominated for the Roll since it’s inception. A remarkable list of women who have been nominated by their peers, colleagues and families and they continue to inspire us. For more information visit the Office for Women website.
