As part of recognising and celebrating our past award winners, we are proud to highlight Charlotte Coulthard-Dare, the inaugural recipient of the NAIDOC SA LGBTQIA+ Person of the Year Award in 2019.

A proud Adnyamathanha, Barngarla and Yankunytjatjara woman, Charlotte is a respected advocate, broadcaster and community leader who has worked tirelessly to promote inclusion, visibility and equality for LGBTQIA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Today, she continues to make a significant contribution to the community as Chairperson of the NAIDOC SA Committee.

Reflecting on receiving the award, Charlotte shared:

"I want to say that winning all those many years ago was a complete shock... and honestly it is still a complete shock, as I pinch myself every day being a NAIDOC SA Award winner. I personally want to acknowledge and thank Phoenix and his late husband for making this award possible."

Do you know someone who deserves recognition for the positive impact they make in our community?

Nominations for the 2026 NAIDOC SA Awards are now open. Nominations close on the 20th of June!
