2026 NSW WOMEN OF THE YEAR AWARDS

It’s time to celebrate our community champions by nominating them in the 2026 NSW Women of the Year Awards.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said these annual awards play an important role in recognising the heroic women making positive contributions across NSW every day.

“We’re lucky to have so many women on the Coffs Coast working hard each day making long-lasting contributions to our lives,” Mr Singh said.

“The NSW Women of the Year Awards is a chance to show how grateful we are for their commitment. I urge everyone to take a look at the award categories and then nominate the women that have enhanced their lives.”

Nominations are open in the following categories:

  • Woman of Excellence
  • Aboriginal Woman of the Year
  • Community Hero of the Year
  • Young Woman of the Year
  • Regional Woman of the Year
  • One to Watch

Young girls aged 7-15 who show acts of courage, strength, determination and kindness to help support those around them can also be nominated in the Ones-to-Watch program.
