“Australian Bravery Awards recognise courage and sacrifice. Perhaps most importantly, they recognise people who, in a moment of danger or threat, think of others ahead of their own safety.

“We celebrate their bravery and the example that they set: putting others before self and a willingness to help strangers, the vulnerable and those in danger in the most difficult of times.”

The Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd),

On 31 March 2020, the Governor-General announced 83 Australian Bravery Awards, recognising the courage, sacrifice and selflessness of the recipients.
