AWARDS

Call for Nominations

  

The 2025 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Awards celebrate outstanding achievements and contributions within the field of eye health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These awards, formerly known as the Leaky Pipe Awards, have been honouring the remarkable work of champions and unsung heroes in this sector since 2018 as part of the national conferences.
 

The awards are inspired by the Conference theme, 'Seeing Our Way' as chosen by the Conference Leadership Group.


This theme emphasises the significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and leadership in eye health, both locally and nationally. It also advocates for stronger First Nations leadership through community-controlled healthcare services and advancing national governance, including the push to enshrine an Indigenous voice in the Australian constitution.
 

The 2025 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Awards will be presented during the conference on the beautiful lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people. 

Award Categories

  • Exceptional Contribution to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Award by Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHO)


  • Outstanding Leadership in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Award


  • Emerging Leadership in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Award


  • Exemplary Allyship in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Award


  • Lifetime achievement award for Aboriginal and Torres eye health

SELECTION CRITERIA

Selection criteria for the 2025 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Conference awards focus on recognizing individuals or organisations that have made a meaningful impact in improving eye health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
