Nominees have a minimum of 20 years of distinguished service to Islamic schooling in Australia, and the award is given for contribution to one or more of the following categories:
1. Educational or administrative leadership and/or governance
2. Service/practice/commitment and/or support for learning and teaching
3. Contribution and impact to whole-of-field growth, renewal and success.
Unlike other award categories, the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award will be directly selected by our highly esteemed independent judging panel.
In 2022, the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Awards were given to Madenia Abdurahman and Abdul Karim Galea for their lifetime contributions to Islamic education in Australia.
