Professor Martin Gill, Director, World Excellence Awards said, “the calibre and credentials of entrants this year reflects the high standing of security professionals in Australia.” He added “from 2024 recipients of the Australia OSPAs will qualify for the Global OSPAs, bringing worldwide attention to the outstanding security performers in Australia”.
Damian McMeekin, Chair of the Australian Medals Foundation Awards said, “The sharp quality and value of the security sector’s service to the community was seen in two members’ awards for valour, earned without regard to their own safety, and in 25 further awards to members who contributed to saving lives through the application of first aid.”
