Australian Alumni Awards 2025: Honouring Excellence

Celebrating alumni advancing the Vietnam – Australia relationship

The Australian Alumni Awards 2025 in Vietnam celebrate and honour alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their profession, community, and country through leadership, integrity and innovation. Together, these alumni contribute to further strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and Australia. This will be the second time these prestigious Awards are presented by the Australian Embassy, following the inaugural Awards launched in 2023. Alumni eligible for these awards include those who have studied, researched or trained with an Australian education institution in Australia, Vietnam, a third country or online. This includes formal qualifications, short courses and professional training that were undertaken for minimum consecutive 5 days.
 

Nominations are now open for the Australia Alumni Awards 2025, a prestigious initiative that recognises and celebrates the outstanding contributions of alumni of Australian education in Vietnam.

There are nearly 100,000 Australian alumni in Vietnam, who are making vital and sustained contributions to Vietnam’s ability to grow and tackle emerging challenges and opportunities. First introduced in 2023, the Australian Alumni Awards honour alumni who have demonstrated leadership, innovation, and a commitment to making a positive impact in Vietnam and beyond.

The 2025 Australian Alumni Awards will once again showcase the invaluable role that Australian-educated individuals play in strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Australia and Vietnam, driving forward economic, social, and environmental progress.

“The Australian Alumni Awards honour individual contributions by alumni to Vietnam’s development and highlight their leadership in their areas of expertise,” said Ms Renee Deschamps, Charge d’Affaires of the Australian Embassy in Vietnam. “Through these awards, we celebrate the cooperation between Australia and Vietnam in various areas and the people-to-people links that underpins the Vietnam – Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.”

The 2025 Australian Alumni Awards will recognise alumni contributions to Vietnam’s future across six key categories: “Distinguished Alumni”, “Building Knowledge and Connecting People”, “Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation”, “Women in Leadership”, “Enhancing Economic Engagement”, “Climate, Environment and Energy”.
