Now in its fifth year, the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll formally acknowledges and celebrates the wide ranging achievements of Aboriginal Victorians past and present.

So far 64 Aboriginal Victorians have been inducted in recognition of their important contributions to the Victorian community in fields such as health, education, sport, the arts, military service and social justice. Their life stories and achievements are recorded in the Honour Roll book which is on permanent display in the Victorian Parliament as a legacy for future generations.
