Australasian Reporting Awards

The 2027 Australasian Reporting Awards recognise and celebrate excellence in reporting across Australasia. For more than 75 years, the Awards have provided organisations with an independent benchmark of reporting quality and an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to clear, effective and accountable reporting.

Organisations enter the ARA to see how their reporting measures up, gain valuable independent feedback and identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Strong performers are recognised through Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards, Best of Industry Sector Awards and the prestigious Report of the Year.

Entries for the 2027 Awards will open shortly through our new My ARA online portal, making it simpler to submit and manage your entry.

JOINT REPORTS OF THE YEAR

In the review of finalists for the Report of the Year two exceptional reports rose to the top. Each demonstrated outstanding clarity, transparency and impact, and each set a benchmark for high quality reporting. When it came to determining a single winner Awards Committee members were firmly split equally between the two reports. It was decided to accept both as Joint Winners of the Report of the Year.
