Australia Day Awards
On Australia Day, local councils across Tasmania recognise the exceptional contribution of their community members with the presentation of Australia Day.
Awards - the highest honour a council can bestow.
Awards are presented in the categories of:
- Citizen of the Year
- Young Citizen of the Year
- Community Event of the Year
The award ceremonies range from formal civic receptions to community BBQ breakfasts, but all ceremonies recognise and pay tribute to the work of special individuals in their local communities.
Do you know someone who deserves an award? If so, contact your local council for a nomination form.
