The Family Business Excellence Awards
FBA celebrates success in family business through the Family Business Excellence Awards each year. The awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of families and individuals in respected and successful family businesses of all sizes and at all stages, acknowledging the significant contribution they make to the Australian and New Zealand social fabric and economy.
Unlike many other business awards, the Family Business Excellence Awards specifically acknowledge and showcase excellence in family businesses.

How Does It Work?
The Business Category Awards include three categories: Founder's Family Business, Established Family Business and Legacy Family Business. Each of these categories is first awarded across 6 State/Regional finalists – NSW/ACT, SA/NT, QLD, VIC/TAS, WA and NZ – announced at the local Family Business Insights State Conferences during September - October 2024.
All six State/Regional winners will then be made finalists in each of the business award categories - Founder’s, Established and Legacy Family Business - and are required to interview with the judging panel during November 2024. An overall winner in each category will be announced and presented at the Family Business Excellence Awards Dinner at the annual Family Business Conference: Asia-Pacific in May 2025.
Finally, the business that achieved the highest collective score from across all categories will receive The 2025 Family Business of the Year Award.
