The Anzac Peace Prize honours an Australian who has promoted international understanding and contributed to world peace, while the Anzac of the Year Awards recognise up to seven Australians who have served their communities in a positive, selfless and compassionate way.

We are especially proud to celebrate NSW Anzac of the Year recipients Angela McCann OAM and Patsy Edwards OAM.
