Veterans encouraged to nominate for award
Nominations are now open for the 2025 Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards, a national initiative recognising veterans, their partners, and employers who are leading the way in veteran employment across Australia.

Now in their eighth year, the awards celebrate the important contribution veterans and their families make to the civilian workforce. They highlight individuals and organisations creating opportunities and supporting successful transitions to civilian careers.
Nominations close on 25 July 2025. More information, including how to nominate, is available on the Veteran Employment Program website: www.veteransemployment.gov.au/awards
Member for Blair, Shayne Neumann, said the local community can take pride in supporting former defence personnel and their families, who bring valuable skills and experience to the workforce. “I want to encourage people in the community to nominate individuals and organisations they know – or nominate themselves – for these prestigious awards,” he said.
