Every year, as part of Adult Learners Week, we award $$500 prizes to learners so that they can continue to study. You can read their stories about the barriers to learning they have overcome here.
These awards are made possible by generous donations to the Learning Changes Lives Foundation, Adult Learning Australia‘s charitable arm.
The 2026 winners are (from left to right below):
- D’Shay McCoy, NT
- Georgie Potter, NSW
- Crystal Reuter, Qld
- Bailey Chaseling, NSW
- Lisa Trotter, Tasmania
- Albert Jasareno, WA
A big congratulations to these winners and all this year’s inspiring nominees.
