Australian Compliance Institute Awards

Since 2002, the Australian Compliance Institute has been recognising outstanding contributions and achievements in our community of people working in compliance.

In our revitalised, post-covid 2024 Awards celebration we will continue the tradition and acknowledge remarkable contributions by our members.

This year we awarded:

• Life Member Award
• Compliance Professional of the year
• Compliance Professional Team of the Year

We also recognise achievements in education across our nationally recognised Compliance and AML qualifications. Our student awards are nominated by the course Assessor based on the quality of member post-course assessments received in FY 2023-24 and were awarded for:

• Certificate IV Compliance and Risk Management Student Award
• Graduate Certificate in Compliance and Risk Management Student Award
• Skill Set in AML and CTF Student Award
• Graduate Certificate in AML and CTF Student Award

The winners of our 2024 ACI Awards were announced at the Annual Conference on 17th September 2024.

Past Awards and Honours List

While we celebrate our current compliance achievers, we also acknowledge and honour those individuals and teams that have built the foundations of our Institute and shaped the landscape of the profession. These outstanding contributors have set the standards and best practices of compliance and helped us deliver on our mission to drive excellence in the Compliance community through thought leadership, sharing knowledge, setting standards, advocating change, and developing professionals.
