The CareerTrackers Gala Awards are a celebration of First Nations excellence in our community where we present awards to individuals and organisations who have demonstrated leadership in the CareerTrackers community.
In 2024, we will once again be celebrating our communities locally by holding five state-based Gala Award events, so we are asking our community members to submit people you believe have excelled in 2023 to ensure all our local heroes are recognised.
How do I nominate an individual or organisation?
It’s easy to nominate an individual or organisation that you believe deserves to be recognised and celebrated.
Simply complete the form below by providing a few details about yourself and the nominee, including details of their achievements, and then select the boxes for the awards that you think they should be considered for.
For each state, awards will be presented to winners in the categories below, except for the Partnering for Excellence Awards and Future Leader Award, which will all be national.
If you would like to nominate multiple people, please submit a new form for each person or organisation you nominate.
Nominations close on Sunday 31 December!
