“The Australian of the Year Awards acknowledges the great achievements of individuals in our community,” Mr Hawke said.

“If there is someone you know in the community, a family member, a friend or someone famous who inspires you, nominate them today.

“This is the chance for you to show your appreciation by nominating that special person who you believe is a great role model in our community.”

All nominees are considered and one nomination is all it takes for their efforts to be recognised for the Australian of the Year Award.
