Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence
Recognising and celebrating our colleagues
The University recognises exceptional staff performance through our peer-nominated recognition program, the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence were established in 2016 to celebrate exceptional staff performance at the University. 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.
This year 122 University staff members have been recognised with Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence, across 15 categories.
My warmest congratulations to this year’s award recipients and everyone nominated. It’s an incredible source of pride and inspiration for me as Vice-Chancellor to see the many ways our vital work here at the university is brought to life, and having a real and powerful impact in the community and world at large.
Vice-Chancellor and President Mark Scott
