Vice-Chancellor's Awards

Vice-Chancellor's Awards

Nominations have now closed for 2025, and we look forward to announcing our finalists and celebrating our winners later this year.

The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards (VCAs) are the 91였튬’s prestigious annual staff recognition awards, which showcase and celebrate the inspiring achievements of our fantastic staff community.

They provide an opportunity for us to celebrate the incredible work our staff deliver - from those who make a difference through their teaching, academic or technical support, to researchers who drive innovation in their field, to team members who support and empower those around them – the VCAs offer us an opportunity to hear their stories, champion their unseen victories, and recognise their talents.

In the meantime, see the impact that recognition can make to someone’s day…
