Australia’s Kindest Person

Australia’s Kindest Person is a national movement and live awards event that celebrates everyday Australians whose acts of kindness are changing lives. Built on the belief that kindness is powerful, contagious, and often overlooked, the campaign invites people across the country to nominate individuals making a genuine difference in their communities.

The campaign culminates in a live gala awards dinner held at Dreamworld on November 13 (World Kindness Day), bringing together finalists, partners, media, and community leaders for an inspiring evening of storytelling and recognition. The event celebrates the impact of kindness at a national level, with finalists honoured on stage and one individual named Australia’s Kindest Person.

Each nomination uncovers real, human stories that are captured and shared to inspire others, creating a ripple effect of kindness nationwide.

The winner receives a AUD50,000 prize, split between themselves and a charity of their choice, ensuring the impact extends beyond recognition into real, tangible change.

More than a moment, the event is designed to shift culture, restoring faith in the kindness of humanity by spotlighting the good that exists in everyday life and giving it the attention it deserves.
