South Australians are invited to keep shining the spotlight on women making significant contributions to their communities and industries following the state’s first ever Women’s Week.

Nomination categories

Nominations for the new South Australian Women of Impact Awards open on International Women’s Day, 8 March, and aim to recognise and celebrate women making an impact and creating positive change across four categories:

• Impact in Industry Award – women making a positive impact in their industry
• Impact in the Community Award – women making a positive impact in their community
• Aboriginal Impact Award – First Nations Women advocating for their community and/or making a difference in their field
• Ending Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Impact Award – women dedicated to preventing and ending DFSV in South Australia.

The Office for Women encourages nominations of women from diverse communities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds, the LGBTIQA+ community, women with disabilities and other minority groups.

Nominations can be made through the South Australian Women of Impact Awards at the Office for Women website until 30 May 2025, with four winners and four finalists for each category expected to be announced in September.
