Who should be recognised in 2027?

The 2027 WA Women’s Hall of Fame nominations are now open.

Over the years, a wide array of women from diverse social and cultural backgrounds, across different sectors in rural, regional and metropolitan WA, have been nominated for their contributions, achievements and commitment to the betterment of fellow Western Australians.

We encourage everyone to look across your networks, workplaces, communities and families and consider nominating a Western Australian woman to be recognised through the WA Women’s Hall of Fame in 2027.

Nominations will also be considered for the Roll of Honour, to be inducted posthumously.
