Awards and Presentations

Catholic Social Services Australia Awards

The Catholic Social Services Australia Awards recognise and promote the work of Catholic Social Services Australia Member Organisations and of individuals working in the broader social services sector.

These Awards pay special tribute to outstanding people, programs and organisations who work tirelessly, and often quietly, for a better life for vulnerable, marginalised and disadvantaged people.

The Awards are presented under three categories - two of which are open exclusively to member organisations and a third which is open to all individuals working in the social services sector. 

1. The Norma Parker Award for the Most Innovative Program (open to member organisations)

This award highlights outstanding achievement by member organisations of Catholic Social Services Australia which offer programs that set trends and benchmarks in their particular area of service.

2. The Perkins Award for Excellence in Service (open to the broader community)

This award is presented to an individual who has shown outstanding commitment to service. The award is open to people from Catholic Social Services Australia agencies and also to people in the wider community.

3. Award for Excellence in Service (open to member organisations)

This award is presented to the program which has most successfully met or is meeting the needs of a local community.
