Finalist announcement: 2025 Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards

Minister for Veterans’ Affairs the Hon Matt Keogh MP has announced the finalists for the 2025 Prime Minister’s National Veteran Employment Awards.

The Awards celebrate veteran and partner employee success, recognise organisations that excel in recruiting and supporting veterans and partners in civilian workplaces, and highlight the collective impact of the veteran employment community nationwide.

To learn more about the finalists, and their inspiring stories, visit the 2025 Finalists page on the VEP website.

Winners will be announced at an Awards ceremony at Parliament House, Canberra in late November.

The Awards are delivered by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ Veteran Employment Program (VEP). The VEP delivers initiatives to support Australian organisations to improve employment outcomes for veterans and partners. This is underpinned by the Veteran Employment Commitment, that encourages and supports employers to recruit and retain veterans and to build veteran-inclusive environments.
