Community Awards winners announced!

The inaugural awards, which coincided with the 35th anniversary of Clean Up Australia Day, recognised outstanding volunteers making a positive contribution to our environment.

The winners received their awards at a special breakfast event in Parliament House, Canberra, in early February 2025. All nominations received were greatly appreciated, and we were truly inspired by the amazing case studies. It wasn’t an easy job to choose the winners, but we think you’ll agree, they really are outstanding.

When will the Community Awards be back?

After celebrating our BIGGEST EVER Clean Up Australia Day and a fantastic season of special events to mark our 35th anniversary, we’re taking a short break.

The Clean Up Australia Community Awards will return next year, with nominations opening mid-2026, and the awards ceremony taking place early 2027.
