The Australian Admin Awards
is paving a change for administrative professionals.

Be part of the change.

A first-ever business award of its kind in Australia!


We wanted to make a change in the business awards industry. After years of seeing admin professionals go above and beyond making a difference to the leaders, teams and organisations they support, often without receiving the recognition they deserve, we decided it was time for a change.

The Australian Admin Awards, or ‘AAAs’, recognise and celebrate the achievements, dedication and importance of all Administrative Professionals across our country; inclusive of receptionists, office managers, admin assistants, personal assistants, executive assistants and executive business partners.

The AAAs are proud to be the founding body that formally recognises all administrative functions within all industries in Australia. 

The awards will bring together professionals and leaders, so together we can acknowledge the people behind the company’s day-to-day wins and significant milestones.

Our vision is to shine a light on the engine room of the unsung heroes who work their magic in organisations big and small and advocate for a more robust representation and appreciation within the professional community.

Across a number of categories, the AAAs will reward the contributions these individuals have made to their company, community and professional body.

“Together we can foster a future that celebrates administrative professionals for their efforts and contribution to the business”

— Michelle Bowditch, AAA Founder
