Before you nominate

Key scheme rules

Recognition is evidence-led. The number of nominations does not determine who wins.

Deadline

Except for the August–September launch arrangement, nominations close at 11:59pm on the final calendar day of each month. Results are announced within 10 calendar days.

Repeat recognition

A colleague can be nominated more than once, win Employee of the Month more than once, or progress from runner-up to a later monthly winner.

Employee of the Year

Only Employees of the Month are eligible. Home Managers and colleagues in more senior roles may receive monthly recognition and the applicable voucher but cannot receive the holiday prize.

Prizes

There is no cash alternative. Vouchers are issued in a format chosen by Bright Futures Accommodation and all prizes are non-transferable.

Holiday arrangements

Bright Futures Accommodation makes the final destination, booking and travel arrangements. Approved travel and additional paid-leave dates depend on operational needs.

Fair review

The panel may verify the evidence and exclude self-nominations, inappropriate content, incomplete entries or confidential information.
