The APOC Awards and Gala Night is an inspiring celebration that recognises the achievements of multicultural professionals who are creating impact across workplaces and communities. In a country as diverse as Australia, this event addresses the urgent need to spotlight leaders who are often underrepresented, yet are breaking barriers and driving inclusion.

Now in its third year, the Gala has become a powerful platform for visibility, connection, and recognition. With over 70 nominations in 2024, it honours individuals through categories such as Culturally Inclusive Leader, Community Impact, Allyship in Action, and more.

This unforgettable night brings together change-makers, allies, and industry leaders to celebrate lived experiences, cultural intelligence, and stories that matter. Beyond awards, it sparks meaningful conversations, inspires future leaders, and strengthens the movement for equity and belonging. This is where inclusion takes the spotlight and change is celebrated.
