Developed and hosted in partnership with the Centre for Social Impact (CSI), Third Sector Awards is the largest and most prestigious awards ceremony recognising excellence within the not-for-profit sector.
The well-loved Third Sector Awards is back in 2025 to honour the unsung heroes in the NFP sector who tirelessly champion causes, uplift communities and inspire change. Their dedication, passion and efforts may often go unnoticed, yet their impact resonates far and wide, which enriches communities in profound ways.
In 2024, ten social change-makers were chosen based on their social impact, outcomes measurement, social innovation, collaboration, leadership and systems thinking.
Out of the ten awards, the Chinese Australian Services Society (CASS) Ltd garnered three: Sustainability Leadership Award, Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Award (for its subsidiary CASS Care Ltd) and CEO of the Year Award (for Mr Henry Nan Hung Pan).
