The HART Awards, being the only one of its kind, recognises local Victorian initiatives and champions that make a real difference in their community and that contribute to local reconciliation outcomes.

Nominations may be initiatives that demonstrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal people working together, and initiatives that have contributed to relationships, respect and understanding and demonstrate a commitment to Aboriginal self-determination.

The 2020 HART Awards will be presented at an event in Melbourne on Thursday 4 June 2020 commencing from 10:30am at Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) at Richmond Football Club.

Winners will each receive an award. The community organisation/group and schools/early years winner will also receive $1000 each to support their reconciliation initiatives.

The short-listed and winning initiatives will be profiled in a booklet and promoted by VLGA, Reconciliation Victoria,  Maggolee and Bank Australia, to provide inspiration for other organisations and communities.
