The prestigious national program\u00a0recognises the outstanding achievements of female entrepreneurs across the country.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The Awards, coordinated by Precedent Productions,<\/span> have seen an unprecedented surge in participation, reflecting the growing influence and impact of women in small business across all industries, from professional services and retail to trades, health, hospitality, and creative sectors. With more than 60 categories, the program continues to showcase the diversity, innovation, and determination that define Australia’s<\/span> female business community.<\/p>\n

The\u00a02025\u00a0Australian Women’s\u00a0Small Business Champion\u00a0Awards is\u00a0made\u00a0possible by\u00a0the\u00a0support of\u00a0Major Partners Westpac,\u00a0NOVA\u00a0Employment, Castaway Forecasting, Xcllusive Business Sales, VJG Group, Boa and Big Clean.<\/p>\n

“I’m incredibly proud that Westpac has helped more than 1,800 women start or grow their businesses since launching our Women in Business Fund two years ago. We are on track to reach our $1Billion<\/span> target early next year and the record-breaking entries in this year’s Awards prove there’s enormous potential in female-led businesses” says Anthony Mathews<\/span>, National General Manager, SME & Small Business at Westpac.<\/p>\n

The red-carpet gala event was held at the Fullerton Hotel in Sydney<\/span> on Saturday night and hosted by accomplished journalist and broadcaster Jayne Azzopardi<\/span>, who\u00a0welcomed finalists, families\u00a0and\u00a0supporters for\u00a0a\u00a0night widely regarded as the “Oscars for small business.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now in its fourth year, the awards highlight the economic and social contribution women make to the Australian economy. From professional services and trades to tourism and beauty, more than 60 business categories will showcase the best of Australia’s<\/span> female-led small business, including four special award categories – Young Small Business Champion Woman Entrepreneur (aged 30 and younger), Small Business Champion Woman Entrepreneur (aged over 30), Australian Small Business Champion Influential Woman and Australian Small Business Champion Icon.<\/p>\n

Spanning all\u00a0capital cities as\u00a0well\u00a0as rural, regional and suburban towns, The\u00a0Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards is arguably among the most diverse in terms of represented industries and sectors. With record submissions received, 2025 is set to be the program’s biggest evening to date.<\/p>\n

“Every year we see more women stepping up to lead businesses that are innovative, resilient and deeply connected to their customers and communities,” says\u00a0Steve\u00a0Loe,\u00a0Awards Founder and Managing Director of\u00a0Precedent Productions, which coordinates the\u00a0Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.<\/p>\n

“Since our\u00a0inception more\u00a0than 40\u00a0years ago,\u00a0Precedent Productions continues to present a\u00a0multitude of\u00a0state and national award programmes, so we’re generally in-tune with the country’s best performing business operators.<\/p>\n

“The volume and calibre of entries in the 2025 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards have been outstanding, making the task of determining this year’s finalists anything but easy,” says Mr. Loe.<\/p>\n

“When the Champion Judges evaluate entries,\u00a0they consider all aspects of a business: its strategies, innovative initiatives, customer service, vision, growth, environment and\u00a0community support\u00a0–\u00a0to\u00a0name\u00a0but some of the judging criteria.”<\/p>\n

“Yet again, my team and I find ourselves in an incredibly exciting position to be able to honour Australia’s<\/span> female small business trailblazers in such a way. To see such participation in the programme is a testament to the countless contributions hardworking women make across Australia<\/span>,” added<\/span> Mr. Loe.<\/p>\n
