Australian of the Year 2023 nominations to close Sunday, July 31

There's not much time left to submit your nominations for the 2023 Australian of the Year Awards.

Submissions must be made by midnight on Sunday, July 31.

Nominating is easy and can be done online here.

It only takes one nomination for someone to be considered for the awards and it's up to the Australian public to make those nominations.

There are four categories in the awards: Australian of the Year, Senior Australian of the Year (aged 65 years and over), Young Australian of the Year (aged 16-30 years) and Australia's Local Hero.

National Australia Day Council CEO Ms Karlie Brand encouraged people to nominate those Australians they find inspiring, whether for their achievements or their community contributions.

"You don't need to know someone personally in order to nominate them for the awards, you simply need to provide some information on what they've done or how they're making a difference," Ms Brand said.

"Taking five minutes to complete the online form with some simple details could see someone recognised for their contributions on a national stage.

"Help us share the stories of extraordinary Australians in all walks of life - nominate them now."
