International Women's Day

“On International Women’s Day we celebrate the contributions and achievements of women in our community.
“It is also an occasion to focus on the country we aspire to be, the importance of gender equity and the tangible steps we can all take to get there.”
The Governor-General and Mrs Hurley also encourage all Australians to consider nominating a woman who has made a significant impact at the local, national or international level for recognition through the Order of Australia.
“Our national honours must reflect our community and we need more women to be nominated.
“It is a step we can all take and a step that will mean women in our community who make a difference are recognised and celebrated.”
