Together, we're facing an exceptional challenge in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our focus remains on providing support to the community as best we can at this time. With this in mind, the Awards will not be proceeding in 2020.

We’ll be back in 2021 to continue celebrating small and medium businesses Australia-wide. To find out how we’re supporting our local business communities today, click below.

“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
