The Emma Miller Award is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in the Queensland Union movement.

Emma Miller was a strong advocate for workers and women's rights in Queensland during the last century and the QCU hosts the Emma Miller Awards as a tribute to the pioneering spirit of this woman.

A foundation member of the Australian Labor Party, Emma Miller was one of the leaders of the women's suffrage movement. She saw Australian women vote in 1902, the first women in the world to be able to vote in a Federal election.

Women of Queensland are indebted to this woman with ceaseless energy and indomitable spirit, and to many others who were involved in campaigning.
