Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women

The State Government of Tasmania in Australia established the Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women in 2005 to recognise Tasmanian women who have been distinguished in their contributions to the State. In 2021 became the first openly transgender woman inducted into the Honour Roll.^[1]

The Honour Roll is generated from community involvement in the discovery of women's historical and contemporary contributions to Tasmania, to honour them and to ensure their memory is not lost.

Inductees are listed below by year, and for other formats and biographies of the individual inductees see the Tasmanian State Government Honour Roll of Women website.^[2]
