Award for Leadership in Languages and Cultures Award

We would like to thank the Minister for Education through the Multicultural Education and Languages Committee (MELC) in jointly administering this Award that recognises outstanding young people who have demonstrated leadership and commitment to advocacy for a multilingual and culturally diverse Australia.

Citizen of the Year Awards Program

We would like to thank all our valued member SA Councils for participation in the The Citizen of the Year Awards Program that recognises South Australians who enable their communities to be stronger as a result of their tireless efforts. These individuals offer outstanding service each day and so often this is invisible to us. They don’t do it for the praise, or for the recognition – they do it simply because it makes a difference to the people of our state.

We are grateful to our Citizen of the Year Awards Program sponsors IWS Group, Local Government Association of South Australia, MGA Insurance, OTR and Sarah Constructions
