Nominations are now open for the 2025 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll, celebrating the invaluable contributions of women volunteers across regional, rural and remote New South Wales.

Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke encourages everyone to nominate the remarkable women who quietly make a huge impact through their volunteer work.

“Our volunteers are the heartbeat of small towns, whether supporting sporting clubs, school committees, fundraising for health and medical research, firefighting, or mentoring young people, their generosity enriches every corner of our communities,” Ms Cooke said.

The Hidden Treasures Honour Roll is a NSW Government initiative coordinated by the NSW Rural Women’s Network and has honoured over 1,300 women since 2010.

Honourees receive a certificate and are featured on the online Honour Roll.

Their inspiring stories are also shared in an annual booklet that showcases their motivations and impact.

Now is the perfect time to recognise the unsung female heroes who go above and beyond to keep our communities vibrant and inclusive.
