Inspired by the work of Mission Australia with Australia’s homeless community, the 2024 Stand Together Day Awards give you the opportunity to nominate someone who stood alongside you during a difficult moment in your life and honour their role in your story.

Every day, Mission Australia is working towards a goal of ending homelessness in Australia, delivering homelessness crisis and prevention services, collaborating with people in need to tackle the root causes of their challenges.

Mission Australia have been committed to standing together with Australians experiencing homelessness since 1859.  In 2023, over 149,000 people were served through their tireless efforts.

As such, Mission Australia know how important it is to have someone stand alongside those who are struggling in life and, along with Christian Media and Arts Australia, have created the Stand Together Day Awards.

The Stand Together Day Awards exists to honour the people in your world who have stood with you, providing support through a challenging time that you have faced.  All of us at some point face difficult times and all too often these times come unexpectedly.  

We want to hear the stories of those who, like Mission Australia, have provided practical support and stood with you as you faced your most challenging times.  Our hope is that through hearing these inspirational stories, we’ll see more and more people recognise their capacity to make a difference for those around them.

To make your nomination for the Stand Together Day Awards, fill in the nomination form here and tell us about you and the person you are nominating.  Together, you could be heading to the Gold Coast, expenses paid, to receive the Stand Together Day Award at a special event, hosted by Christian Media and Arts Australia.
