The aim of the Awards is to celebrate innovation and best practice in the Irish Australian business community through the assessment across seven judged categories of businesses and professionals, who have been nominated. 

In 2019 we introduced a new category, the " Innovation Award" to also recognise achievements for innovation in business.  An eighth people’s choice category gave the public the opportunity to vote online for their favourite finalist.

The Awards provide a platform for Irish Australian professionals and those who do business with them, to share, to inspire and to recognise their many achievements.

The 2019 Awards was presented in association with and the support of IDA Ireland, EISS Super, Providence Asset Group, Flexi-Fi, HT&E, Qatar Airways and TransferMate.
