Restoration Australia Industry Service Award

The Restoration Australia Industry Service Award is a prestigious new honor recognizing individuals who have made significant and lasting contributions to the Australian restoration industry. More than just providing restoration services, this award celebrates those who have actively shaped and advanced the industry through their dedication, leadership, and innovation over a minimum of 25 years of active involvement.

Nominees must have gone beyond their core restoration work to drive progress in the industry, whether through education, technological advancements, or leadership within key industry associations. Eligible contributions may include:

• Delivering education and training to restoration professionals, either directly or by facilitating international expertise in Australia.
• Introducing new technologies, equipment, or methodologies that have enhanced restoration practices in the country.
• Serving on industry associations such as RIA, NUCCRA, or SCRIA, helping to shape industry standards and advocacy efforts.

Importantly, nominees do not need to still be working within the industry—this award recognizes the long-term impact of their contributions, whether past or present. It acknowledges individuals whose passion and commitment have played a pivotal role in elevating the Australian restoration industry, ensuring its growth, professionalism, and global alignment.

All submissions and supporting documents are due by the 30th April 2025. The winner will be notified by the end of May and announced at the 2025 RIA Inc. Restoration Conference & Trade Show.
