Last year's winner was Carol Owens , who had ended her career at the beginning of the year and therefore did not start again. In the final of the two top seeded players, Rachael Grinham beat Cassie Jackman with 9: 5, 9: 5 and 9: 5.
The field of participants in the women's competition consisted of 16 players, four of which were starting places for qualifiers. The best eight players were seeded. A wildcard was not awarded.
