Recognition
Celebrating achievements
and fostering professional growth
EPHEA is committed to recognising the outstanding contribution that Equity Practitioners make to the lives of students and staff across the tertiary education sector.
Goal 4: of EPHEA’s Strategic Plan is to recognise and celebrate the work of equity practitioners across the sector. We offer a range of recognition activities including our Early Career Practitioner and Lifetime Member Awards, as well as mentoring programs, our Champions of Change initiative and a range of professional development grants to support the professional development of our members.
Lifetime Members
EPHEA Lifetime Member awards recognise significant and long-term contributions to equity in universities and TAFE across Australia and New Zealand. The award also seeks to recognise specific contributions to work that has enhanced the presence of EPHEA over the years.

Champions for Change
Champions for Change was developed in 2020 in partnership between EPHEA and the ACSES (formerly the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE)) as part of World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED). In our first year we celebrated over 70 nominees, and since then have recognised over 260 Equity Practitioners from across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

EPHEA Grants
Throughout the year EPHEA offers members the opportunity to apply for grants and awards to support their attendance at conferences and to undertake professional development.
As opportunities become available, they will be shared with our members via the EPHEA mailing list.
