About the Project Management Achievement Awards
Established in 2000, the Project Management Achievement Awards (PMAAs) exist to recognise, honour, and promote outstanding achievements in program and project management. Each year project teams across Australia submit their projects which are then assessed by a judging panel of project experts. Winners of each category are awarded at two levels: State and National, and presented at the Project Management Achievement Awards event ceremony.
