Our movement is built on the incredible dedication and hard work of unionists and teams across South Australia. When it comes to winning a better deal for South Australian workers, every union delegate, HSR, official, and member is a vital piece of the puzzle. When our efforts, passion, and commitment come together, we form an exceptional, powerful, and united movement.
These awards celebrate those essential pieces – the unsung heroes, tireless advocates, and innovative thinkers who are making South Australia a fairer place for working people. Join us in recognising the amazing contributions that make our union movement whole.
This year’s awards recognise our movement’s achivements from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026.
Nominations close at 11:59PM on Wednesday 30 September.
