In 2012, Ms Kirner was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for her work in advancing equality for women, and for her political achievements in the 1980s and 1990s. Accepting the award she said she was very proud to have been the first female premier of Victoria. "[Now] young women and their daughters know that they can be premiers, they can be leaders of the state, and they can be leaders of the nation," she said. "My mother used to say to me, 'you can do anything as a girl that you want to do', and I believe that," she said.
