Reminder: Teaching Excellence Awards applications

These awards recognise, encourage and reward excellence in teaching which conveys the importance that excellence in teaching has within the University.

Successful applicants receive a medal and a prize of $6,000. There are up to seven Teaching Excellence Awards made each year in the following categories:

  • Sustained Excellence in Teaching (x3)
  • Early Career Excellence in Teaching (x2)
  • Leadership in Teaching and Learning
  • Outstanding Service to Teaching and Learning Environments

In 2025, a new category has been added—Outstanding Service to Teaching and Learning Environments. This award is open to both professional and academic staff, and is intended to recognise our colleagues whose primary role is one of support and/or service, for example: curriculum development managers, learning technologists, and learning designers etc.

Additionally, provision has been made for an additional Sustained Excellence in Teaching Award to accommodate a team application.

Finally, from 2025, we will award Leadership in Teaching and Learning on an annual basis.

Applications close on 8 September 2025.
