Premier's Active Citizenship AwardsA part of the Australia Day family of awards, the Premier's Australia Day Active Citizenship Awards focuses on community contribution and participation rather than personal achievement. They are run across the state as a joint initiative of the Australia Day Council of Western Australia, the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) and the Office of Premier and Cabinet. As a member of the local community, you are invited to nominate an inspiring community member or group from your area for an award to be presented at a ceremony on Australia Day - 26 January. The three awards highlight active citizenship, outstanding contribution to the local community and Australian pride and spirit. Choose the one that suits your nominee: - outstanding community contribution by a local citizen.
- outstanding community contribution by a local citizen under 25 years of age.
- outstanding community contribution by a local group or community event.
