Community recognition

We love to celebrate our graduates and community members who have been recognised for their achievements and contributions through both Curtin and community awards programs.

Order of Australia

The Order of Australia was instituted by Her Majesty The Queen on 24 February 1975 to recognise outstanding members of the Australian community at a national level.

40under40

The 40under40 Awards was established by Business News in 2002 to recognise and celebrate Western Australia’s 40 leading business entrepreneurs under the age of 40. The program recognises not only personal determination and commercial drive, but also philanthropic pursuits.
