Coming into their ninth year, the awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding contribution made by women across NSW to industry, communities and society.
This year women can be nominated in seven categories:
- NSW Premier's Award Woman of the Year
- NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year
- Community Hero Award
- Rex Airlines Regional Woman of the Year Award
- Harvey Norman Young Woman of the Year Award
- NSW Business Woman of the Year Award
- First State Super Lifetime Achievement Award
NSW minister for women, Bronwyn Taylor, believed the awards were a great way to recognise the significant role women play in our society.
"I urge everyone to submit a nomination and recognise the many brilliant women and young women who are achieving so much in their fields in NSW, and making our communities stronger," she said.
"Women from all walks of life make significant contributions to their communities while overcoming gender inequality, raising families, and pursuing careers in male-dominated fields. This is your chance to recognise these women and let them know their hard work does not go unnoticed."
Nominations for the 2020 awards close on Friday, October 25 and the winners will be announced at the International Convention Centre in Sydney on Thursday, March 5 2020, in the lead up to International Women's Day.
