2025 Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards: Nominations open

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

Nominations are now open for the 2025 Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards.

The 2025 Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards recognise the achievements in the civilian workforce of veteran and partner employees and entrepreneurs, and the employers supporting them.

Now in their eighth year, the Awards highlight the collective impact of the veteran employment community — inspiring continued engagement and leadership across Australia.

In 2025, new categories have been introduced to recognise the initiatives creating positive outcomes and those who play a key role in championing veteran and partner employment.

Help shine a light on the individuals, initiatives and organisations making a difference in veteran and partner employment.

Whether it’s a veteran or partner thriving in their civilian role, a supportive employer or a new initiative changing the game — nominate by 25 July 2025.

Submit a nomination and learn more about the Awards.
