How about a little drumroll? We’re excited to share that it’s time to announce our 2023 Core Values Awards finalists.

Firstly, we would like to thank all those that took the time to enter the awards this year.

The IAP2 Australasia Core Values Awards recognise outstanding projects and organisations that are at the forefront of community engagement.

Successful applicants demonstrate leading practice and evidence that IAP2’s seven Core Values are clearly embedded within their organisations.

We can’t wait to see who our winners are – to be announced at the IAP2 Australasia Conference, 24 – 26 October 2023, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
