Australian of the Year Awards

The Australian of the Year Awards (Awards) recognises inspiring individuals who lead as role models for their communities, their state and the nation.

The Awards give Queenslanders the opportunity to nominate individuals who show courage and inspire us to make our own contribution to a better Australia.

Nominations for the 2024 Awards have now closed.

The Queensland recipients from each category will be announced in November 2023 and will represent Queensland in the national Awards in Canberra on the eve of Australia Day 2024.

To nominate for the 2025 Awards, visit the Australian of the Year Awards website.
