The SIMNA Awards are an opportunity to shine a light on the remarkable work being done across Australia to evidence social change.

The Outstanding Collaboration Award recognises place-based, systems change, and other collaborative initiatives that demonstrate genuine shared responsibility and power sharing in social impact measurement. It celebrates partnerships where partners work together and/or communities and program participants co-lead or co-govern the design, decision-making, and interpretation of measurement, evaluation, and learning.

Applicants should demonstrate:

• Genuine co-design and shared governance
• Clear evidence of community, participant, and/or partner influence on key decisions
• Evidence of trust-building and equitable processes
• Active use of social impact measurement to align partners and drive collective action.

Organisations can apply more than once, however each project or initiative may only be considered for one award, so please read the category descriptions carefully, and only apply in the one that is most appropriate.
