Nominate someone for the Hunt for a Hero Awards and help celebrate the everyday champions working to prevent domestic and family violence, support people impacted by abuse, and build safer communities.

Your nomination can recognise their courage, care, advocacy, innovation or community leadership — and help shine a light on the people creating real change.

Award Categories:

Support and Caring Award – Recognises individuals who consistently demonstrate deep compassion, emotional or physical care, and a commitment to improving others’ lives. These heroes often operate quietly but have a lasting impact on those they support

Advocacy Award – The Change-Maker Hero – Honours individuals who drive meaningful, lasting change in systems, communities, or societal awareness. This includes long-serving volunteers, older community champions, researchers, and academics whose work supports evidence-based reform and improves conditions for future generations.

Social Justice Award – Acknowledges individuals who bring critical issues into public view and shift collective awareness. These champions often use storytelling, education, and communication to confront inequity and build understanding

Bravery Award – Celebrates those who act with courage and conviction, especially in the face of adversity or personal risk. This award honours both high-profile acts and quiet, consistent bravery.

Technology for Good Award – Recognises individuals or teams who use digital tools, technology, or innovation to improve lives, increase safety, or raise awareness. These people bridge compassion and technology to deliver scalable, meaningful change
