The 2026 Awards Night

Held at Rydges Palmerston, the evening was a heartfelt celebration of the people who make Purple Support what it is today. It was a chance to recognise the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our incredible team, whose commitment continues to create meaningful outcomes for the participants and communities we support.

A Night of Recognition and Celebration

From the moment guests arrived, there was a wonderful atmosphere of excitement, pride, and connection. Team members from across the organisation gathered to reflect on another successful year, reconnect with colleagues, and celebrate the achievements that have shaped Purple Support throughout 2026.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Celebration of Excellence Awards, where outstanding team members were recognised for their commitment to delivering exceptional support, embracing our values, and making a lasting difference in the lives of participants.

Every finalist represented the very best of Purple Support. Their passion, professionalism, and dedication are a true reflection of the culture we continue to build together.

An Evening to Remember

Guests enjoyed a beautifully prepared three-course dinner featuring a selection of delicious entrées, mains, and desserts, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening.

Throughout the night, there were inspiring speeches, well-deserved applause, and countless moments of laughter as colleagues celebrated one another's achievements. As the formalities concluded, the dance floor came alive with music from our DJ, giving everyone the opportunity to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the evening together.

It wasn't just an awards ceremony—it was a celebration of teamwork, friendship, and the shared purpose that unites us every day.

Celebrating the People Behind the Care

At Purple Support, we know that outstanding support begins with outstanding people.

Every day, our team demonstrates compassion, professionalism, resilience, and a genuine commitment to helping participants achieve greater independence, choice, and control. While the awards recognised individual excellence, the evening also celebrated the collective effort of every employee who contributes to creating positive experiences for the people we support.

Success is never achieved alone, and the Celebration of Excellence Awards Night was a reminder of how much can be accomplished when passionate people work together toward a common goal.
