The prestigious awards recognise and celebrate the diversity, excellence, and innovation of those working in the rail industry.
Australasian Railway Association CEO and judging committee chair Caroline Wilkie said the awards would showcase the outstanding contribution of rail industry organisations who have continued to innovate and deliver new projects during the pandemic.
“The awards represent a fantastic opportunity to recognise an employee or team for their achievements or promote your leadership in innovation to the Australian and New Zealand rail industry,” Ms Wilkie said.
The ARI Awards are open to anyone working in the rail industry or as part of an organisation affiliated with rail in Australia and New Zealand.
There are 17 award categories available, including both individual and project or organisation awards. Four new categories have been introduced this year including:
