Honour Awards

CELEBRATING OUR COMMUNITY

Established in 2007, the Honour Awards provides NSW’s sexuality and gender diverse communities with an important opportunity to recognise excellence and celebrate achievements, as well as the difference that particular community members make in our lives.

In 2019, the Honour Awards was held on 2 October at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

As well as recognising outstanding individuals and organisations in the sexuality and gender diverse communities, Honour raises much needed money for programs and services delivered by ACON, which create a healthier and safer community for all. All funds raised from the Honour Awards goes back to the community, supporting initiatives that improve the health and wellbeing of sexuality and gender diverse people.
