The Australian Awards for Excellence in Leadership

Now in its 11th year, the Australian Awards for Excellence in Leadership recognises women and gender-diverse leaders who proactively contribute to the advancement of other women and underrepresented people into leadership roles across Australia.

Specifically, the awards recognise leaders who, through their actions, have improved the likelihood of other women and underrepresented people having equitable access to leadership opportunities. The accolades are given annually, both at National and State/Territory levels.

The purpose of these awards is to increase visibility and momentum for more diversity in leadership across Australian society, and to recognise those who contribute time, effort, and energy into making this happen.
