Celebrating high achieving blind Australians

Blind Australian of the Year Award

These awards acknowledge and promote an equitable and inclusive Australia. They celebrate the exceptional contribution of Australians with low and no vision who, by their example, inspire others to excellence and by their actions, improve Australian community life. These prestigious awards bring Australia wide acknowledgement for the recipient as well as a generous cash prize of $2,500 proudly sponsored by Stapell Working Dog.

Help us search Australia to find these hidden gems, who do such incredible work to benefit not only the blind and vision impaired, but the wider Australian community.
