Business Solutions Award
North Queensland has lived through challenging years. Following an overall slowdown of the local economy, a softening of business confidence, and the devastating floods of 2019, most businesses in North Queensland had to ‘re-invent’ themselves. This Award is for businesses which, in the last two years, have changed in order to remain viable.
Business Community Award
Every business, regardless of its size, has a role to play as a corporate citizen. This Award celebrates businesses which, in the past two years, are delivering or have delivered a project, program or activity to help improve our world. Project, program or activity, planned or in response to an event, can be about supporting the community; care for the environment; improved social outcomes; improved health and/or safety for others; or help with flood recovery.
Employee's Choice Award
Do you work for a great employer? Or do you know one? An organisation supportive of its employees’ development and work/life balance? An organisation that shows genuine care for its employees? This Award is for them!
