The Philippa Maddern Awards Presentation ceremony was held on Thursday 17 September 2026 at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery at The University of Western Australia.
This biennial event is an important occasion in the Academic Staff Association calendar as the awards recognise the positive influences that academics have on students, the university and the wider community, through their outstanding leadership and inspiration.
