Visitors to the Perth Royal Show have just one day left to explore the inspiring WA Women’s Hall of Fame Roll of Honour photographic exhibition, proudly supported by the Royal Agricultural Society of WA.
The Hall of Fame was established in 2011 to honour women who have made significant contributions to Western Australia across all walks of life from agriculture, business and community leadership to education, health, sport and the arts
Roll of Honour acknowledges extraordinary women from metro, rural and regional Western Australia dating back to the early 1800s, including pioneering farmers, shepherdesses, carers and mentors, who helped build stronger communities across the State.
Audiences have the chance to explore the legacy of these remarkable women, while also being inspired to nominate others whose stories deserve recognition today.
Last month, RASWA CEO Robyn Sermon was appointed a Nomination Champion for the WA Women’s Hall of Fame 2026, recognising her commitment to advocating for regional communities and her leadership as the first female CEO of the Royal Agricultural Society in its 193-year history.
“As a Nomination Champion, I am honoured to support the WA Women’s Hall of Fame in celebrating women from city to country. Across our cities, towns and regions, women are shaping stronger communities every day. I encourage you to nominate the remarkable women in your life, to ensure their contributions are recognised as part of our State’s rich and diverse story,” Robyn Sermon said.
