00:00 Since 1960, the Australian of the Year Awards have celebrated and recognised Australians who inspire us.
00:07 But who becomes an Australian of the Year?
00:10 Well, that's up to you.
00:12 They may be people who bring about great change,
00:15 who give a voice to those who need to be heard,
00:18 or who humbly serve their local community.
00:21 It only takes one nomination to elevate their voice,
00:25 help them access more support,
00:27 or give them national recognition.
00:30 Anyone can nominate an Australian they admire.
00:33 So, who would you nominate?
00:35 When all the nominations are in,
00:37 selection panels made up of a diverse group of community representatives
00:41 begin the hard work of shortlisting four nominees
00:44 in each of the four categories across every state and territory.
00:49 The award recipient for each category is then announced
00:53 at prestigious state and territory events across Australia.
00:56 Those 32 recipients go on to represent their state or territory
01:00 in Canberra at the National Awards,
01:03 where, finally, four Australians of the Year are announced live on TV
01:08 the evening before Australia Day.
01:10 It takes just one nomination by any member of the public to get started.
01:15 Who inspires you?
01:17 Nominations are open all year round.
01:20 So nominate now at australianoftheyear.org.au
