Help bring their work to light by nominating them for the AASW National Excellence Awards – a powerful way to open doors, spark new conversations and help others see what’s possible.
Are you, or do you know, a social worker advancing the profession in values-led, and innovative ways?
Nominations open 18 August 2025
There’s so much incredible work being done out there. I reckon we should shout it from the rooftops!
There’s a lot of great social work research happening without recognition – and this is one way to highlight that impact.
Even just the nomination can be such a beautiful way of saying to someone: I see you, I hear you, I think the world needs more of your work.
Whether it’s innovative research, advocacy, or practice that creates real change, these awards recognise the depth and diversity of social work across Australia.
Nominations close 4:00pm AEST Friday 26 September.
