Established in 2024, the NATA Excellence Award was created to inspire and recognise innovation and progress in accredited processes and technical infrastructure. Developed in collaboration with NATA staff, Board, and community, the award reflects our core values of quality, reliability, and impact while encouraging members to strive for continuous improvement.
Whether your organisation is advancing testing methodologies, delivering significant quality improvements, or making a measurable impact on Australian industries and communities, your contribution matters.
By nominating for the NATA Excellence Award, you are not simply entering a competition, you are helping to shape a culture of excellence that strengthens the entire technical and scientific community. Your work has the power to influence the future of accreditation and innovation.
Each submission is assessed by an independent panel of experts through a rigorous, transparent process, ensuring fairness and recognition of achievements that deliver tangible benefits.
Each year, winners and finalists are recognised at NATA’s Accreditation Matters conference during the Celebration Dinner attended by more than 500 industry leaders. In addition, their success stories are shared across NATA’s publications and digital platforms.
In 2026, the Accreditation Matters conference is being held on July 7 & 8 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
