Awards now open!
Since 1987, the Australian Human Rights Commission has recognised the immeasurable contribution to Australian society of a wide variety of men, women and organisations committed to issues of human rights, social justice and equality through the annual Human Rights Medals and Awards.
Each year we receive a range of quality nominations for the Human Rights Medals, Young People’s Human Rights Medal and seven award categories: Law, Community (Organisation), Community (Individual), Literature (non-fiction), Print Media, Television and Radio.
They may have made an outstanding contribution within their communities or through the practice of law, through writing books about human rights issues or through their work in the media.
This web-section contains all the information you need to know about the 2010 Human Rights Medals and Awards, including award categories, how to enter, judging criteria, previous winners and how to buy a ticket to the awards ceremony. There’s also a section for media, with the latest news releases, and read all about our sponsors who kindly support the awards.
