Treasury Australia Day Awards
Treasury’s Australia Day Awards provide an avenue to recognise and reward the innovation, commitment and quality outcomes produced by Treasury staff, collectively and individually.
The annual awards were introduced in 1994 to demonstrate the important role Treasury plays in supporting the delivery of Government priorities to the Queensland community.
Award nominations are assessed by a panel of Treasury’s senior management, chaired by the Deputy Under Treasurer. The nominations are considered in terms of evidence of outstanding achievement against criteria including:
- significant contribution to enhance Treasury’s reputation and role;
- outcomes which contribute to Treasury’s mission, strategic direction and achievement of corporate goals; and
- work behaviours which exemplify achievement, initiative, integrity, partnerships in and across the portfolio, outstanding general service and support.
