FPCA Awards Information

FPCA Awards for HR exists to recognise the people leaders who are quietly reshaping how Australian organisations work, hire, and grow their people. We believe great HR work often goes unseen- this is where that changes. FPCA Awards 2026 celebrates HR and People & Culture professionals across three categories: 🏆 30 Under 30 — Emerging HR Leaders For early-career professionals proving that impact isn't about tenure. If you've redesigned a process, championed a policy, or shifted your team's culture - without needing a big title to do it - this is your category. 🏆 40 Under 40 — Future HR Leaders For HR professionals building the next chapter of leadership - those already influencing strategy, driving change, and setting the standard for what modern people leadership looks like. 🏆 Career Reinvention Award For those who've pivoted, restarted, or rebuilt their career in HR - proving that reinvention is its own form of leadership. This category celebrates the professionals whose path wasn't linear, and whose story matters because of it. Our jury brings decades of combined HR and business leadership experience to every shortlist, ensuring each award reflects genuine impact - not just visibility. Applications close September 30. Whether you're nominating yourself or someone whose work deserves recognition, it takes minutes to submit - and it could be the recognition that opens the next door in their career. 👉 Apply or nominate now: https://thefuturepeoplecollective.com/apply-now/ #FPCAAwards #FutureOfPeopleCollective #HRLeadership #PeopleAndCulture
