With just days remaining until the close of nominations, the National Australia Day Council urges Australians to submit their nominations for the 2025 Australian of the Year Awards.
The deadline for submissions is midnight AEST, July 31, 2024.
Every year, the Australian of the Year Awards seek to recognise and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Australians from all walks of life.
With four distinct categories—Australian of the Year, Young Australian of the Year, Senior Australian of the Year and Australia's Local Hero—there is a platform to honour Australians making significant contributions at all stages of life.
Nominating is simple and can be the first step toward national recognition for someone making a difference in our communities.
It takes just one nomination for someone to be considered for the Awards. You don't need to know the nominee personally, just provide some details of what they’ve achieved or contributed and why you find them inspiring. Whether it’s through community service, innovation, bravery or leadership, if someone inspires you with their contributions, let us know.
Visit australianoftheyear.org.au to submit a nomination online. Share your story of inspiration and help celebrate the spirit of Australia by recognising those who strive to make our country a better place.
“This is an opportunity for the public to participate directly in acknowledging those who embody the nation’s values and spirit,” said Mark Fraser AO CVO, CEO of the National Australia Day Council.
“One nomination can elevate a quiet achiever to national recognition.”
Don’t miss your chance to put forward a deserving individual. The stories of our nominees can inspire a nation and resonate around the world. Make your nomination count before the July 31 deadline.
ENDS.
