A large group of diverse people pose and smile on stage at the 2023 Australian Human Rights Awards, with a blue event banner displayed in the background.

The Awards are your opportunity to honour and promote the work of our unsung heroes of human rights as well our more high profile achievers.

Help shine a light on the work of human rights champions who often go unrecognised for their efforts in advancing and defending human rights in Australia.
