2024 Shaping Australia Awards
Australia’s universities are extraordinary places, full of bright and passionate individuals who drive new ideas, initiatives and projects that help shape our nation.
Through research and development, the education of skilled workers and community service, universities improve the lives of all Australians, regardless of their education background.
We’re delighted to showcase 6 outstanding winners in the 2024 Shaping Australia Awards across the following categories:
The Problem Solver Award
Recognises an individual or a team’s work or research that has changed or has the potential to change the lives of Australians for the better.
The Future Builder Award
Recognises an individual or a team that has gone over and above to equip their students with the knowledge and skills they need to make a positive impact.
The Community Champion Award
Recognises an individual, team or university with strong links to its community and the people who call it home, not just those who attend the institution.
