Australia’s Original Independent Awards Program for Women

14 years of recognising courage, resilience, and real-world impact — in business, leadership, and community.

Proudly Supported by

Your achievements deserve more than a moment — they deserve a movement.

The Altitude Awards have spent 14 years putting a spotlight on women who are building something real — in business, in leadership, and in their communities.

But here's what makes us different.

This isn't just an awards program. When you enter, we don't leave you to figure it out alone. Your entry includes a full entrant toolkit — everything you need to put your best story forward and make the most of the experience, whether you're a finalist or not:

  • A judge's guide — exactly what our judges are looking for, so you can frame your submission for maximum impact

  • A branded content pack — graphics, visuals, and social media tiles ready to share on your website, Instagram, and LinkedIn

  • PR and media templates — so you can pitch your story to local press and industry publications

  • Submission tips — how to tell your story in a way that lands

We're not just handing you a trophy. We're beside you the whole way — helping you build visibility, confidence, and a platform that lasts well beyond the gala night.

What Past Entrants Say

Larissa Wright

Entering the Altitude Awards gave me the confidence to own my story. Being recognised as a finalist opened doors I didn't even know existed.

Larissa Wright

The Wholistic Wellness Club

Jade Forder

The process itself was transformative — it made me reflect on how far I've come. The visibility and connections have been the real prize.

Jade Forder

Creative Abyss

Candace Coughlan

I was nominated by a colleague and almost didn't enter. I'm so glad I did. The recognition has genuinely helped grow my business.

Candace Coughlan

Wild Health Club

Candace Coughlan

I'd been running my business for years but never felt like anyone noticed. The Altitude Awards changed that. The recognition gave me a platform — and the confidence to charge what I'm worth.

Kelly Wiseman

Our NeuroTribe

She'd Never Nominate Herself. But You Can.

You know someone building something remarkable. She works harder than anyone, lifts others up, and would be the last person to put her own hand up for recognition.

Nominating takes five minutes. The impact lasts a lot longer.
