YAIA’s annual Young Women to Watch list celebrates and elevates the achievements of young women across the breadth of international affairs.
Despite great strides, international affairs remains a male-dominated space. Through our annual list, published on International Women's Day each year, YAIA aims to recognise and elevate the next generation of women leaders achieving success and making an impact in these areas.

YOUNG WOMEN TO WATCH
YAIA’s annual Young Women to Watch list celebrates and elevates the achievements of young women across the breadth of international affairs.
Applications for our 2026 Young Women to Watch list are now closed.
For eight years, YAIA's annual Young Women to Watch list has championed young Australian women driving innovative change across international affairs, from foreign policy and national security to defence and trade.
We encourage women of all backgrounds, sectors and career stages to apply. We are looking for the next generation of leaders, innovators, and trailblazers!
