There is fantastic work being done in the NSW public sector and we want to recognise the people that make it happen.
NSW Premier’s Awards celebrates excellence in the delivery of public services to the NSW community by the public sector, and not-for-profit organisations and private businesses in partnership with public sector agencies and departments.
