A 90 per cent volunteer-run organisation, Little Wings provides transport for seriously ill children from regional and rural New South Wales and Queensland to John Hunter Children's Hospital.
Little Wings CEO Clare Pearson said it was a great honour for the charity to be recognised amongst its industry peers.
"Recognition such as this encourages us to keep pushing in hope of supporting more families, to keep striving for excellence, and ultimately, to continue doing our bit to ease the journey," she said.
"Little Wings is only possible because of the incredible people that volunteer, every day keeping us in the air and on the ground, so this award is in tribute to their time and talent - demonstrating that it is all possible when we pull together with a united mission."
