The search is on to find the most outstanding and influential women in NSW, with Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, encouraging Coasties to nominate.
Crouch said the annual awards play an important role in recognising inspirational women from diverse backgrounds across the entire state.
“These awards are a wonderful opportunity to honour the women and girls who are making a real difference to our community,” he said.
Minister for Women, Bronnie Taylor, said when we recognise the outstanding contributions women and girls make to society, we empower and inspire them to continue creating positive and lasting changes.
“We all have a responsibility to be loud and proud of women’s achievements and to celebrate their determination, bravery, skill and passion,” Taylor said.
Nominations are open for the following six categories: Woman of Excellence, Aboriginal Woman of the Year, Community Hero of the Year, Young Woman of the Year, Regional Woman of the Year and One to Watch.
The One to Watch category is in its third year.
This award recognises girls aged 7- 17 who have supported others through acts of courage, strength, determination, and kindness.
“The One to Watch award is our way of giving a huge shout out to rising young super stars who are showing strength and resilience,” Taylor said.
The winners will be announced at the NSW Women of the Year Awards ceremony on March 9, 2023, as part of NSW Women’s Week.
Nominations close on Friday, September 30.
