GLOBAL AUSTRALIAN AWARDS

The Global Australian Awards, presented by Advance, recognise the work of remarkable Australians making an extraordinary impact on the global stage in industry sectors that are of particular importance to Australia.

Australians are known as being resourceful, creative and free-thinking. With our irrepressible sense of optimism combined with openness towards other cultures, it is no wonder that so many Australians and graduates of Australian universities choose to build their career globally. We know that succeeding professionally overseas means embracing risks, working in unfamiliar environments, and operating without an established network – it takes guts, curiosity and ambition. The Awards (known as the “Advance Awards” up until 2022) recognise and celebrate these qualities.

Selected by a judging panel of eminent Australians, the Global Australian Award winners and finalists are collectively known as the Advance GameChangers. Since 2012, Advance has promoted over 100 outstanding individuals who are shaping our world. Meet the 2022 GameChangers, and the GameChangers from 2012 to 2021.
