Australian of the Year

Australian of the Year

Each year our nation celebrates the achievement and contribution of eminent Australians through the Australian of the Year Awards by profiling leading citizens who are role models for us all.

They inspire us through their achievements and challenge us to make our own contribution to creating a better Australia.

There are four award categories:

-:- Australian of the Year
-:- Senior Australian of the Year (60 years and over)
-:- Young Australian of the Year (16 to 25 years)
-:- Australia's Local Hero

The prestigious year round program culminates in the announcement of the national award recipients in Canberra on Australia Day Eve.
