It will be presented at a gala celebration at the Royal Randwick Racecourse on 14th November, with the best sporting talent from across Australia in attendance.

The NSWIS Awards recognise and honour the achievements of NSWIS athletes, coaches and sport programs across nine categories.

“Athletes are seen as such role models and so it’s important we recognise their outstanding achievements not only in their sport, but in their studies as well.

“After another outstanding year of sport I can’t wait to see who the nominations are for 2019.”
