About the program

The Australian Export Awards honour the achievements of outstanding, innovative and inspiring exporters.

Celebrating innovative Australian exporters

The Australian Export Awards is a national program that celebrates the achievements of Australia’s most outstanding, innovative and inspiring exporters, and the far‑reaching impact they have on the nation’s economy.

Now in its 62nd year, this is one of Australia’s most prestigious and longest running business awards programs. It has recognised more than 2080 Australian exporters since 1963, who have achieved international success in diverse sectors, through their commitment and leadership.

The Program showcases national finalists, category winners and Australian Exporter of the Year on a global stage to drive demand for their products and services. Their stories inspire other Australian businesses to diversify their export strategy and go global.

This program is proudly presented by the Australian Trade & Investment Commission (Austrade) in partnership with State and Territory awards programs. It is made possible through the valued support of Australia's leading corporations, export facilitators and industry groups, and other Australian Government departments.

'The Awards provide a unique exposure opportunity, profiling businesses across Australia. It allows us to pause, reflect on our growth, and celebrate our achievements. It’s also a chance to recognise our team’s hard work and forge meaningful connections within relevant industries and with other Australian exporters.’
