Pauline McLeod Awards for Reconciliation

Nominations Have Closed

About the Awards

The Awards are named after the late Pauline McLeod, an icon in Australian media and entertainment who worked across many platforms to teach and celebrate her First Nation heritage with Australian audiences of all ages. In recent years, the Awards have fallen on National Sorry Day, a time to remember those from the Stolen Generations, including Pauline McLeod and her siblings.

The Awards aim to recognise “silent achievers” who have worked diligently in promoting Reconciliation through selfless acts. They may be your neighbours, work colleagues, family members or acquaintances. They will have one thing in common, and that is their desire to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Nominations must demonstrate the nominee's commitment to Reconciliation over the past year. Nominees must either live, work or study within the Inner West.
