Women will outnumber men again in the next assembly term, when 14 of the 25 members will be women. It's an increase from the 13 women who were elected after the 2016 election.

The ACT became the first parliament in Australia at a federal, state or territory level to have a majority number of female members four years ago.

With 56 per cent of the MLAs being women in the 10th term of the Legislative Assembly, the ACT has seen that record of high female representation continue.

Ms Berry, Labor's Minister for Women, said the result was a fantastic outcome for female members, regardless of their political party.

"I think it's a great representation of our community," Ms Berry said.

"There is more work to do, but we're on a real way of change. It's a way of women being seen and heard in the Assembly because their experiences are distinct."

Of the 13 women elected at the 2016 election, four will not be seen during the next four-year term.

Liberal Vicki Dunne and the Greens' Caroline Le Couteur retired before the election and Labor's Meegan Fitzharris retired from the Assembly last year. Labor's Bec Cody lost her seat at Saturday's vote.

However, five new women will feature in the chamber following the election, including several new Greens MLAs.

The Greens will welcome three new female members including Rebecca Vassarotti, Jo Clay and Emma Davidson.

While Bec Cody lost her seat in Murrumbidgee, another Labor woman, Marisa Paterson, will take her place in the electorate.

Leanne Castley from the Canberra Liberals will also sit in the new assembly for the seat of Yerrabi, following a tilt at federal politics in 2019.

Ms Berry said the large number of female candidates contesting the election across the different parties was a reason for the large female representation in the assembly.

"More women have been putting their hands up because more women are doing this work. It's the whole thing of you can't be what you can't see, and we're seeing that more across all occupations and seeing more representation in other ways as well as politics," she said.

"It really does make a difference because women being to the assembly different perspectives and different life experience."

One of the Assembly's newest MLAs, Rebecca Vassarotti said she was still processing the news of her election victory.

"A new job is always a nerve-wracking thing," she said.

"One of the great things the Greens team is bringing to the table is that we are people in the community who have been working on [community] issues for decades. It's not like we're starting from scratch."

Chief Minister Andrew Barr welcomed the news of there being a majority female MLAs in the new assembly.

While there had been suggestion Greens leader Shane Rattenbury could assume the deputy chief minister role due to their performance at the election, Mr Barr said it would not be representative of the Assembly with almost 60 per cent female members.

"It's not feasible for both the chief and deputy chief minister to come from the same electorate and be blokes," he said.

Despite the increased female representation in the new Assembly, its cultural diversity took a backwards step with the loss of Labor's Deepak-Raj Gupta.

"It would seem there were some really good multicultural candidates across all the parties and they have effectively split the vote between them in such a way that although Deepak was on top on primary votes, he didn't attract enough preferences to be elected," Mr Barr said on Monday.

Final results for the Assembly are set to be determined in coming days.
