The Awards for ºÚÁÏ´óÊÂ Excellence are a national program of the ºÚÁÏ´óÊÂ, implemented at both a State/Territory and National level. Awards are structured in three sections:

• General Categories - offered at a Division level, with winners being elevated to the National Awards for ºÚÁÏ´óÊÂ Excellence;
• Division Categories - only offered at the Division level - winners do not progress to the National level;
• National Categories - offered at the National level only - nominations for these categories are called later in the year.

To encourage participation by Tasmanian members, no entry fees are payable.

In addition to satisfying the specific criteria indicated for each category, the judging panel takes the following issues into consideration when judging nominations.

• Principles that could be applied nationally;
