Nominations open for the prideofaustralia honours

The prideofaustralia™ medal honours unsung heroes whose contribution to the Australian way of life is not widely known or recognised by the general public. Through their achievements, these remarkable Australians inspire and help to make Australia a better place to live.

They might be a friend, workmate, neighbour, your child’s teacher, the local police officer or fire fighter or simply someone who has made a community a better place to live.

There are 10 categories in the prideofaustralia medal program: Bravery, Courage, Community Spirit, Young Aussie, Mateship, Fair Go, Environment, Peace, True Blue and Role Model.

A unique prideofaustralia medal will be awarded to the winner of each category at a special ceremony event held in NSW (& ACT), VIC, SA, QLD, WA, TAS and NT in October 2007.

Entering its third year, the prideofaustralia medal has grown from strength to strength and has uncovered heart-warming, courageous stories about everyday people whose extraordinary actions make you proud to be Australian.

Help us recognise and celebrate these great Australians and nominate someone today – self nominations are accepted!
