The Australian Professional Teachers’ Awards acknowledge the exemplary innovation and leadership carried out by individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the work undertaken by professional teaching associations.

To assist the APTA Awards Committee, we encourage state and territory joint council boards to nominate worthy educators to receive well deserved recognition for their outstanding service to professional teaching associations and the professional standing of teachers in Australia. The APTAs are presented at the annual conference of the Australian Professional Teachers Association. For more information fo to Awards.
