Nominations are now open for the 2024 Australian of the Year Awards. The awards recognise the achievements and contributions of exceptional Australians who are making a positive difference in their communities.
Nominations cover four categories – Australian of the Year, Senior Australian of the Year, Young Australian of the Year and Local Hero. Locals are being urged to nominate people in their communities to recognise them and celebrate their achievements across four award categories: Australian of the Year; Senior Australian of the Year (65 years of age or over); Young Australian of the Year (16 years of age to 30 years of age); and Australia’s Local Hero.
“These awards celebrate outstanding Queenslanders doing remarkable work to improve our communities, our State and our nation,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.
“I encourage you to nominate the many unsung heroes, community leaders and positive role models, who bring us together to celebrate our country, our heritage and our traditions.
“They may live in your street, your neighbourhood or volunteer at your local club – It could be a family member, friend, work colleague or a champion in your community.”
