The Fred Awards

Who’s the Fred in your world?

 
Professor Fred Hollows was a great Australian who had great faith in the humanitarian nature of everyday Australians. The Fred Awards recognise this type of everyday humanitarianism that Fred believed in.

The Fred Awards celebrate people who care for others in a decent, practical, and no-nonsense way – just like Fred did.

As part of the Fred Awards we are searching Australia-wide for a national Fred Hollows Humanitarian – someone who embodies kindness, compassion and integrity in their everyday lives. Someone who puts others first.

We believe every community has a Fred Hollows – the volunteer, the compassionate carer, or the advocate. Someone who goes out of their way to care for others and create a more egalitarian world.

Nominations for the Fred Awards open Monday 4 April, and close Friday 22 July.

A group of 8 finalists – one from each state and territory – will be handpicked by a judging panel led by Founding Director Gabi Hollows AO, before being presented to the Australian public who will vote for our Fred Hollows Humanitarian of the Year.

Nominees must be over 18 years of age and must be an Australian resident.

Please note: Multiple entries do not increase the nominee’s chance of being named a finalist. The judging panel will select finalists based on merit and alignment with our values. 

For FAQs about the Fred Awards, see here.

 

 

2021 Fred Hollows Humanitarian

 Alannah McGregor

After suffering the terrible loss of two children, Alannah has worked tirelessly over the past 19 years to raise awareness of suicide prevention and to de-stigmatise what was once considered a taboo subject.

Alannah worked with other communities to create a campaign in central Victoria, promoting suicide prevention strategies. From this, the Suicide Prevention and Awareness Network was formed. 

Alannah helped establish Safetalk suicide prevention workshops with community groups, while also mentoring funeral directors, health agencies and bereaved families – using her personal experience to help educate others.
