Welcome to the 2020 Telstra Business Awards

For 28 years, the Awards have been a celebration of Australia’s remarkable small and medium-sized businesses and have provided an opportunity to showcase innovation, share success and recognise hard work.

These businesses have inspired us all with their commitment to making a difference for their customers, and their ability to find new solutions and ways of working. … Read more Since 1992, the Awards have showcased some of Australia’s best business talent, with over 79,000 businesses nominated to date.

I encourage you to nominate an outstanding business today, or even better nominate your own business. I know this year will be no exception and I can’t wait to meet and celebrate with our entrants.

From all of us here at Telstra, good luck. Read less

“The Telstra Business Awards was one of the most invigorating and educational experiences of my adult life. It brought an element of glamour and pride to our healthcare business; a field in which our day to day activity is far from glamorous, revolving around people in pain, despair, loss of dignity and a lot of bodily fluids.”

Dr. Dev Tilakaratne, Dermo Direct, 2019 Telstra Northern Territory Emerging and Energised Business Award winner
