Recognising and celebrating our colleagues
The University recognises exceptional staff performance through our peer-nominated recognition program, the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence.

As a whole-of-University, peer-nominated program, the awards recognise impact, leadership, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and industry and community engagement, as well as outstanding performance in the support of research and education, and professional service.
