Who Inspires You? Australian of the Year Awards

Australian Of The Year Awards

The National Australia Day Council calls on all individuals, groups and organisations to nominate an Australian who makes them proud for the Australian of the Year Awards.

Each year, we receive thousands of nominations for the Australian of the Year Awards. There are four categories open for nominations:

Australian of the Year

Australian of the Year celebrating the achievements and contributions of eminent Australians who are role models for us all

Senior Australian of The Year

Senior Australian of the Year recognising those Australians aged 65 and over who continue to achieve and make a difference.

Young Australian of the year

Young Australian of the Year celebrating inspiring 16 to 30 years olds who have accomplished great things in all walks of life.

Australia's Local Hero

Australia’s Local Hero acknowledges people making a difference in their local community.

You don’t need to be daunted by the task of nominating your role model or inspiring colleague, community champion, friend or family member. The best nominations are those that tell a story. They’re not always the best written or have a long list of attachments and referees, but they capture the characteristics of an extraordinary Australian making a difference.
