Working with States and Territories

The Australian Export Awards is a collaborative event. Each calendar year, representatives from Austrade, the ACCI and coordinators from the eight State and Territory Export Award programs plan and implement the National Awards program.

Award categories, eligibility guidelines, judging criteria, application processes, marketing and publicity activities are reviewed annually and improved upon as appropriate.
