About the Awards
Recognising Leadership in Veteran Employment
The Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards are delivered by the Australian Government to recognise outstanding contributions to veteran employment across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.
The awards shine a spotlight on organisations and individuals who are improving employment pathways, workplace inclusion, and long-term career outcomes for veterans and their families – helping translate military skills into civilian success.
A National Program with Real Impact
By celebrating best practice, the awards encourage employers across Australia to strengthen their veteran employment strategies and build workplaces that recognise the unique skills, experience, and leadership veterans bring.
The program also plays an important role in raising awareness of the broader veteran employment ecosystem – highlighting partnerships, initiatives, and champions who are driving positive change at scale.
Award Categories
The awards feature a range of categories designed to recognise excellence across different organisational sizes and contributions, including:
- Large, medium, and small business veteran employment awards
- Public sector veteran employment awards
- Not-for-profit and community organisation awards
- Veteran Employment Advocate and Champion awards
- Initiatives supporting veteran families and reservists
Each category recognises measurable outcomes, sustained commitment, and leadership in creating inclusive, supportive employment environments.
Why This Matters to WorkSec
At WorkSec, we believe that supporting veterans into meaningful employment is not only a moral responsibility – it is a strategic investment in Australia’s national capability.
Veterans bring discipline, resilience, leadership, and a deep understanding of trust and accountability. These qualities align strongly with WorkSec’s mission to build and govern trusted, security-cleared workforces across Defence, government, and critical industries.
By sponsoring the Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards, WorkSec supports initiatives that remove barriers to employment, recognise excellence, and help organisations translate veteran skills into long-term workforce success.
