The finalists for the 2026 NATA Excellence Award have been announced – spotlighting organisations delivering outstanding impact through accredited activities across Australia.
Each year, the award recognises those going beyond compliance to strengthen quality, reliability and trust across their sectors. These organisations are not only meeting standards -they’re raising them, driving innovation, technical excellence and real-world outcomes that benefit industry and the broader community.
This year there was significant interest with many high-quality Members submitting submissions.
Our outstanding finalists are:
- Forensic Biology Department – PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA
- Jensen Hughes Fire Testing Pty Ltd

Each represents the very best of accredited excellence, demonstrating leadership, innovation and measurable impact in their fields.
