This Award can be in one of three categories:
- Advocacy
- Action
- Leadership
The project presented can be any national or international project managed by a BPW Australia Club. It will be judged on the difference the outcome of the project has had upon women, the significance of the change, and the number of women it affected. This Award mirrors the BPW International Award and the winner will be encouraged to nominate for the International Award at the BPWI Congress in 2023.
