National Awards 2023 – nominations open
23 May 2023
Our National Awards recognise Red Cross people who’ve made outstanding contributions through their work with our organisation. It’s an opportunity to reflect on people who’ve gone above and beyond to help others – to acknowledge their dedication and their selflessness.
A reminder that all Red Cross people – members, volunteers, and staff – are eligible for an award if they meet the criteria.
Nominations are made to Area Council Chairs and close on 1 July.
When considering people to nominate, look for those who have:
- demonstrated a long-term commitment to our organisation
- made a significant impact on their community
- inspired others to get involved, and
- worked hard to support our programmes.
