Ten reasons to nominate someone for the 2027 Australian of the Year Awards
The council says nominations are quick and simple, and one nomination can attract volunteers, funding and support that multiplies a person’s impact.
- National Australia Day Council interim CEO Todd Ashurst urged Australians to submit nominations for the 2027 Australian of the Year Awards, with just 10 days remaining before the July 31, 2026 deadline.
- "Nominating is a quick and simple process," Ashurst said, encouraging the public to identify people who inspire them without needing extensive documentation or formal paperwork.
- Past recipients like Northern Territory Senior Australian of the Year Jenny Duggan and Northern Territory Local Hero Ron Green exemplify the community service the council seeks to celebrate.
- Duggan spent decades cleaning the Katherine River, never expecting recognition for her quiet service; Green noted "Everyone had a role" in inspiring his community work.
- Nominations close at midnight on Friday, July 31, 2026, with the council encouraging every Australian to submit one name to help shine a light on deserving individuals nationwide.
