Annual Good Choices Awards
About
Nominations for the Annual Good Choices Awards hosted by Cardinia Shire Council Youth Services are open until 7 August 2026.
What is the Annual Good Choices Awards?
The Good Choices Awards recognise young people aged 12-25 who have demonstrated resilience, kindness, and strength in their decision making throughout 2026.
This might look like:
- Prioritising study
- Applying for a job
- Making informed choices about their health and safety
- Accessing support networks even when it’s difficult
- Prioritising themselves, life goals and aspirations
- Choosing to spend time with good people
- Engaging in school/returning to study with confidence
Nominated young people will be recognised at this invitation-only event at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Tuesday 22 September 2026. For further information about the Good Choices Awards contact Youth Services on 18004YOUTH or email myplace@cardinia.vic.gov.au
Anyone from the community is able to nominate a young person. Very different to Australia Day Awards.
The Good Choice Awards are supported by the Victorian Government
