About the program
Aussie of the Month is a free student awards program, available to all primary schools across Australia. It currently has more than 1,650 primary schools participating, reaching more than 554,000 students.
Aussie of the Month recognises and celebrates personal endeavour, achievement and contribution to the community, and promotes the universal values we share as Australians, such as fair go, mateship, respect and inclusion.
The program has been operating for more than 20 years, encouraging civic contribution through rewarding behaviours that reflect our responsibilities as community citizens, similar to the Australian of the Year Awards.
As the ‘younger sibling’ to the Australian of the Year Awards, Aussie of the Month schools have the opportunity to arrange a visit from Australia’s Local Heroes!
