Nominations for the 2025 Vision Super Local Heroes Awards are now open.
In partnership with the Australian Services Union, this will be Vision Super’s fourth, and biggest, year of the awards.
A $1000 gift card grand prize will be presented to the winner of each category, with $500 gift cards to be given to runners-up.
The awards bring much needed recognition to local government workers who go above and beyond for their community.
Nominations are open to all local government workers, including employees of associated organisations operated by the council, and local libraries.
People can nominate themselves or others.
The local government/library worker or team must demonstrate at least one of the following criteria:
- Made a significant difference to a community or member of a community
- Contributed to the safety of an individual or group in the community
- Made a substantial contribution to the welfare of a vulnerable person or group in the community
This year’s regional award categories are:
- Environment, Infrastructure and Recreation Local Heroes Award - Regional
- Families, Health and Community Development Local Heroes Award - Regional
Nominations will close on April 4, and the winners and runners-up will be announced at a gala awards ceremony on Thursday, May 15, which will be held at the Victorian Trades Hall in Carlton.
