The Australian of the Year Award recognises Australians who have made significant contributions and created positive change.

For over 212 years, Australia Post has been at the heart of Australian communities, connecting them with each other and the world. Beyond parcels, letters, and services we're also connecting people through stories of hope, resilience and community service. We’re thrilled to recognise the incredible Australian of the Year Award, state and territory recipients who make such a profound contribution to their communities and the nation.

We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the state and territory award recipients for 2022. In this Australian of the year series, we had the opportunity to be in conversation with each of these amazing people and this story of hope, resilience and true human nature is but one of them.

In this episode of Ready to Retail, we continue our ‘In Conversation’ series with Leanne Liddle, winner of the 2022 Northern Territory, Australian of the Year Award.

Our 2022 NT Australian of the Year, Leanne Liddle, isn’t a stranger to racism or standing up against it. Leanne talks about fighting discrimination, the continuing work to improve our justice systems and how non-Indigenous people can build better relationships with their Indigenous counterparts.

During a decade of service as the first Aboriginal policewoman in South Australia, she fought racism and discrimination in the force - and won. That victory was the spark that blazed her path in the justice sector.

Australia Post is category sponsor of the Australian of the Year Award and We’re proud to partner with the National Australia Day Council and showcase the inspiring stories of remarkable everyday Australians.

As always, we would love to hear from you. If you have any comments, questions, suggestions or queries, please feel free to contact our team by emailing them on: retailacademy@auspost.com.au
