What are the Queensland Mental Health Week Achievement Awards?
The Queensland Mental Health Week Achievement Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals, groups and organisations working tirelessly to reduce stigma and support and empower those living with mental illness. There are 11 award categories, and winners receive an engraved trophy and framed certificate. The overall winner receives the Earle Duus overarching award, which includes a $4,000 prize to continue their great work in the mental health sector.
When are the Awards presented?
The 2022 Awards will be presented at a ceremony in Brisbane on Friday 14th October 2022 - during Queensland Mental Health Week and close to World Mental Health Day.

The best way to submit a nomination is to nominate yourself, because no-one knows your work and achievements better than you!
