The following is Crown Content's criteria for inclusion in Who's Who
publications:
Who's Who in Australia
People are included in Who’s Who in Australia if they have significantly contributed to
Australian life on a national or international level. They are people who have built a positive
profile over time. There are no restrictions on age or sex and entrants need not be born in
Australia. Each person’s nomination is considered on its merits alone and entry in the book cannot
be paid for. The book is a snapshot of Australian society at a particular point in time.
Examples of people who are automatically included in the publication are federal and state
politicians, Australian honours recipients (such as AC, AO and the Cross of Valour), Australians of
the Year, university Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors, recipients of arts awards (such as the
Archibald Prize and the Miles Franklin Award), sport and music hall of fame inductees, Chairs and
CEOs of top 100 companies and Judges of High and Supreme Courts. The Editorial Panel considers
other entrants by reviewing their career, achievements, awards and notability.
Who's Who in Business in Australia
People are included in Who’s Who in Business in Australia if they are contributing to
Australian or international business on a national or international level. They are people who are
considered to be significant business leaders. There are no restrictions on age or sex and entrants
need not be born in Australia. Each person’s inclusion is considered on its merits alone and entry
in the book cannot be paid for.
Examples of people who are included in the publication include Chairs, CEOs and CFOs of public
companies and top 2000 private companies, people who hold multiple directorships of major
companies, people who hold senior positions at major international businesses, prominent and
influential business people, notable young entrepreneurs and those people listed in Who’s Who in
Australia who strongly influence business and the decision making processes in Australia (such as
politicians and senior academics).
Who's Who of Australian Women
Women are included in Who's Who of Australian Women if they have made a significant
contribution to Australian life. The contribution can be at a community, state, national or
international level. There are no restrictions on age and entrants need not be born in Australia.
Each person’s inclusion is considered on its merits alone and entry in the book cannot be paid
for.
Examples of women who are included in the publication include those who hold a senior position
within a major organisation, those who have been the first to achieve something in their chosen
field, recipients of awards for women (such as Mother of the Year or the Portia Geach Memorial
Award for Portraiture), AM and OAM recipients, Olympic/Commonwealth/Paralympic medallists, leaders
and influential women in female dominated industries, notable women in male-dominated industries
and prominent women’s activists. Women who have met the criteria for inclusion in Who’s Who in
Australia will be considered for inclusion in Who’s Who of Australian Women.
Who's Who – State Editions
People are included in Who’s Who – State Editions if they have significantly contributed to
society at a community or state level, or if they have contributed to Australian life on a national
or international level. There are no restrictions on age or sex and entrants need not be born in
Australia. Each person’s nomination is considered on its merits alone and entry in the book cannot
be paid for.
Examples of people included in the publication include Presidents and Secretaries of state
branches of national organisations, recipients of state based arts/science/sport awards, leaders of
prominent state businesses, academics at major universities, community leaders of regional
organisations, media/journalists/entertainers/artists who are prominent within the state and ‘
unsung’ heroes (such as volunteers or recipients of bravery awards) without a national profile.
Most entrants in Who’s Who in Australia and Who’s Who of Australian Women would be included in the
relevant state edition.
