In a fitting end to the year, the 2022 Australian Impact Investment Awards recognised the leading investors, companies and change-makers that are driving the growth and progress of the sector.
Presented by Social Impact Hub, and Impact Investment Summit Asia-Pacific, the event saw the presentation of awards to organisations across 4 key categories, with a 5th award going to an individual for outstanding achievement.

The event offered a welcome opportunity for the impact community to come together, with keynote presentation from The Hon Amanda Rishworth MP, Minister for Social Services.
“We need new approaches and new models of public and private partnerships because government is not, and cannot, be the only source of ideas that can deliver and scale innovative community solutions. I’m proud to lead an organisation that embraces and supports impact investing as a key component of how government, business, the NFP and community sectors work together to create a better future for all Australians.”
Founder and CEO of the Social Impact Hub Jessica Mendoza-Roth said:
“We received a record number of nominations for the Awards this year. The calibre of applications was outstanding, reflective of the continued momentum within the impact investment space and the brilliant professionals committed to elevating the sector in Australia.”
