Australian of the Year Awards

The Australian of the Year Awards recognise the achievements of people who have made a major contribution to Australian society.

There are 4 award categories and each year 4 finalists are selected by each Australian state and territory. State and territory award recipients then become national finalists. The national award recipients are then announced in Canberra on Australia Day eve.

The Australian of the Year Awards is a program of the National Australia Day Council.
