Recognising the best in the business

The AHRI suite of national awards is Australia’s premier human resources and people management awards program.

The awards recognise outstanding individuals and organisations that demonstrate excellence in the contribution they make to their own business and to the profession.

Apply for one or more AHRI awards and demonstrate your commitment to being the best in the business.

The 2009 AHRI National Awards have reached a new level with the appointment of a world class panel of international HR, people management and business leaders. The involvement of these thought leaders elevates the integrity and stature of the awards and supports AHRI’s overall objective of promoting excellence in HR, people management and business practices. More on this under advisory panel.
