Awards - SA Woman

The SA Woman Awards are designed to celebrate the achievements of women in business and careers across South Australia. They not only give the winning women and finalists well-deserved recognition, but also a platform and opportunity to showcase their success. We believe that ‘we can’t be what we can’t see’, and the SA Woman Awards are one way SA Woman is working to show what is truly possible as a Woman in South Australia.

Every year, we have more & more to cheer about!

While the inaugural event was held in November 2018 at the Duke of Brunswick, bringing together 60 women in business, the SA Woman Awards have become an annual event that is attended by hundreds as we cheer and celebrate the achievements of women in South Australia.

From start-ups to employees to major businesses and organisations, our award categories recognise women who are excelling at all different stages in their business & career journey.
