 Can I nominate someone?As long as you are over 18 and an Australian resident you can nominate someone. Who can I nominate?You can nominate any Australian children’s service worker for an award. Both qualified and unqualified carers and directors in the community, private or family day care sectors are eligible.

This includes long day care centres, family day care schemes, occasional care centres, crèches, kindergartens, preschools and outside school hours care.
