Congratulations for being shortlisted as an excellence awardee in the 2024 Australian HR Awards!

The Australian HR Awards provides a platform for HR professionals, teams, and employers to receive recognition at a national level and celebrate in style. It is a testament to the importance of HR in driving organisational success and building a competitive advantage in today’s dynamic business environment.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Friday, 13 September 2024 at The Fullerton Hotel, Sydney.

THE PROCESS SO FAR

We conducted a call for nominations from April 2024 to May 2024 and received hundreds of nominations. This was followed by an intensive research period to verify the nominations and to ensure that those selected as excellence awardees were the most deserving.

As publisher of HRD Australia, we have an unparalleled presence in the sector, making the nomination and research process enormously comprehensive.

More information about the Australian HR Awards methodology is available here.

ABOUT THE AWARDS CEREMONY

Accepting the award
If your company wins, please discuss beforehand who will go up on stage to accept the award from the presenter. As the program is running to strict time, please refrain from making a speech. N.B. If you are an excellence awardee in two categories in a row, please make sure you have two different people present to collect the award in case you win. The first person who collects the award may still be outside having their photo taken while the winner of the next award is being announced.

Photographs and video
Immediately after accepting your award, a Key Media staff member will escort you off stage to the media station for an official photograph and brief interview.

The Australian HR Awards is a glamorous black-tie gala evening, where hundreds of HR managers, employers, and companies gather for a night of celebration, fine dining and exciting live entertainment. Every award winner present on the night will have their photo featured in the post-event coverage.
