VESPIIA Awards for Excellence 2026

The VESPIIA Awards for Excellence Cocktail Evening celebrates the best of the veterans, emergency services, and police support sector — recognising the staff, volunteers, organisations, researchers, and programs that have delivered outstanding work over the past year.

This is the night we stop and acknowledge the people doing the work.

Held at the National Wine Centre of Australia in Adelaide, the evening brings together professionals, leaders, and supporters from across the sector to celebrate finalists and announce winners across 17 award categories — from Volunteer of the Year and Staffer of the Year through to Organisation of the Year and Research Piece of the Year.

Who is this ticket for?

This listing is for guests attending the awards evening only — including additional team members, supporters, and plus ones who are not registered for the Future Frontlines 2026 Conference. If you're a conference delegate, your awards evening access is included in your conference registration.

About the awards

The VESPIIA Awards for Excellence recognise outstanding contribution across three streams: individual achievement, organisational and team excellence, and programs delivered to the community. A full list of categories and criteria is available at vespiia.org/awards.
