woman's sufferage towards democratic equality in Australia for voting rights was split up by states. A basic time line is below: * 1894 - South Australia allows women to vote in State Elections (first voted in 1895) * 1899 - Western Australia follows SA example (First voted in 1901) * 1902 - NSW allows women to vote & the commonwealth franchise act is passed allowing women the right to vote in the federal elections * 1903 - Women vote in their first federal election (Dec, 16th, 1903) * 1905 - QLD allows women to vote * 1908 - Victoria allows women to vote. Keep note that back then the term "womens rights" did not include aboriginal women.
They were given the right to vote in 1894.
