7th Annual Australian ADR Awards 2022

Recognised by peers, clients and stakeholders the Australian ADR Awards celebrate excellence and the significant contributions of our ADR practitioners to civil society. The ADR Awards bring together a broad-church dispute resolution community to recognise distinction in the sector.

The Australian ADR Awards recognise both individual and team excellence in the area of Alternative Dispute Resolution.

The Awards are open to all Australian citizens and permanent residents, and Australia-based Dispute Resolution teams.

Excellence in both the Australian (domestic) and international contexts are recognised by the Awards.
