These annual awards recognise the outstanding achievements and contributions of ACU staff across all areas of our university. The awards are a valued opportunity to celebrate excellence across academic and professional roles, and to showcase the many ways our colleagues are helping deliver on the ambitions of Vision 2033.

ACU staff were acknowledged across a range of categories, with Michelle Lopez awarded the 2025 Vice-Chancellor's Medal for Excellence in recognition of her leadership and dedication in shaping ACU’s Graduate Research School and higher degree research (HDR) program.
