When did women get the vote in Australia?

Women in Australia gained the right to vote in federal elections in 1902, making Australia one of the first countries in the world to grant women's suffrage. South Australia was the first state or territory to grant women's suffrage, in 1894, followed by Western Australia in 1899. By 1902, all Australian states and territories had granted women's suffrage, and the Commonwealth Franchise Act of 1902 formally recognized women's right to vote in federal elections.
