Congratulations to the 79 members of the QFES workforce, both paid and volunteer, who were awarded Australia Day Achievement Medallions at ceremonies around the state on 24 and 25 January 2017.
Recipients were recognised for going above and beyond in their duties and making exceptional contributions in their roles at QFES over the past 12 months.
Six organisations and individuals external to QFES were also awarded Australia Day Appreciation Certificates for their support of the department and our workforce.
Thanks must go to our sponsor, QSuper, for their ongoing support of QFES and the Australia Day Achievement Awards.
All recipients are listed below by the region they were nominated in and we congratulate them all on their achievements.
