The APSCo Australia Awards are more than a moment of recognition, they represent the standards, people, and businesses shaping the future of the professional staffing industry. Judged by respected industry peers and experts, these awards carry real credibility, recognising performance, impact, and professionalism.

They celebrate the full breadth of the recruitment ecosystem, shining a light on those raising the bar. For finalists and winners alike, the APSCo Australia Awards are a mark of quality, integrity, and influence.

The APSCo Australia Awards are designed to be accessible, fair, and focused on meaningful recognition. The entry process is intentionally streamlined, consisting of a short written submission that allows entrants to clearly outline their achievements and impact.

All entrants are then invited to participate in an interview with our judging panel, ensuring every submission is given the opportunity to be explored in more depth. This approach creates a more balanced and insightful judging process, where context, performance, and contribution can be properly understood - not just what is captured on paper.

We’re pleased to announce that entries for the APSCo Australia Awards open on Wednesday May 13, marking the start of this year’s awards program. Submissions will close in mid-July, and be followed by interviews with judges throughout August and early September,

Finalists will be announced approximately 10–11 September, before we come together to celebrate the industry’s best at the Gala Dinner on Thursday October 22 in Melbourne, where this year’s winners will be revealed.
