Ms Jose was named the state service's inspirational leader at the awards in Hobart.
LGAT chief executive officer Katrena Stephenson said the awards were an excellent way to recognise the work women were doing to create a gender equal world.
"The theme for this International Women's Day is 'Each for Equal'," Dr Stephenson said.
"Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day."

- Clarence City Council's aldermen Heather Chong

- Department of Health's government relations and strategic policy manager Lisa Caswell
