The Order of Australia recognises Australians for outstanding service or exceptional achievement.
Everyone who is recognised is nominated by someone in the community. This means we all have the ability to recognise someone for their hard work and service. It also means that it is up to all of us to ensure our national awards system represents our diversity—across gender, cultural backgrounds and categories of endeavour. The Governor-General of Australia has written to the Australian Academy of Science and we are working with his Office to raise awareness of the Order of Australia and improve its diversity.
It only takes a few moments of your time to nominate someone exceptional. Nominations can be submitted at any time during the year.
Nominate someone to be recognised through the Order of Australia.
