Join us as the Finalists compete
and Award winners are announced.
12-13 August 2025, online.
Join us for the inaugural Australian Consumer Partnerships in Research Awards live event, taking place online over two powerful days—12–13 August 2025. These Awards celebrate the excellence and innovation happening when people with lived health experience and researchers partner to improve health care, health outcomes, and health equity across Australia.
On 12 August, hear directly from finalists in three award categories as they share how their personal insights are making research more relevant, respectful, inclusive, and impactful. (Finalists will be announced here in early July). Then on 13 August, be part of the excitement as we announce the winners in each category and reveal the recipient of the People’s Choice Award.
And, from 23 June - 24 July 2025, you can help choose which entry receives the People's Choice Award by voting online. Find out how here.
Whether you’re a patient, carer, advocate, health/research professional, or simply curious, this event will open your eyes to the powerful role everyday people are playing in advancing research that truly matters.
Don’t miss this celebration of collaboration, courage, and community during Science Week. Register to attend one or both days of this free online event and be inspired by how lived experience is helping to shape the future of health and medical research in Australia.
The Live Event Schedule in Brief
All times are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (Sydney, Australia). And, to make this event as accessible as possible to people for whom English may not be their preferred language, attendees will be able to listen in one of 60 languages through a live translation service for the event.
A detailed event program will be released at the time finalists are announced.
And, don't forget to vote between 23 June - 24 July and help select the winner of the People Choice Award.
