2026 National Community Transport Sector Awards
NOW CLOSED🌟 2026 National Community Transport Sector Awards — Nominations Now Open! 🌟
It’s time to shine a spotlight on the people who keep our communities moving.
Nominations are now open for the 2026 National Community Transport Sector Awards, recognising the extraordinary individuals, teams, and organisations whose dedication ensures people stay connected to essential services, social opportunities, and the world around them.
Every day, across Australia, community transport workers and volunteers go the extra mile — sometimes literally — to support older people, people with disability, carers, and anyone who relies on safe, accessible, and compassionate transport. These awards celebrate that commitment, that heart, and that unwavering belief that everyone deserves to stay connected.
This is your chance to acknowledge the quiet achievers, the innovators, the problem‑solvers, the friendly faces behind the wheel, and the coordinators who make the impossible look easy. If you know someone whose work embodies the spirit of community transport, nominate them and help us honour the impact they make.
Let’s celebrate the sector that keeps communities moving — one trip, one connection, one act of service at a time.
Nominate today and help us recognise the best of the best in community transport.

EXCEPTIONAL SECTOR CONTRIBUTION

THE UNSUNG HERO

“As someone with limited English, the drivers take the time to help me and make me feel welcome. It’s not just transport — it’s inclusion. ACTA makes sure services consider people like me.”
“Because of ACTA, we now have the tools and confidence to plan for the future. The training, advocacy, and sector support have been game-changers for our team and the communities we serve.”
