Now in their 5th year, the SA Woman Awards are designed to celebrate the achievements of women in business and careers from right across South Australia. 

They not only give the winners and finalists well-deserved recognition, but also a platform and opportunity to showcase their success.

Our inaugural SA Woman Awards were held in 2018, and ever since then we have had more and more to cheer about!

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

Women in all industries, businesses sizes and locations. Women of all backgrounds, family dynamic, colour, cultures and experience.

Discover the incredible group of women who are our 2022 Finalists, and make sure you cast your vote for the 2022 People’s Choice!
