“It’s exciting to be here in Perth to acknowledge the achievements of our members and the outstanding outcomes they are delivering for their clients,” MFAA CEO Anja Pannek said. “Not only did we receive a phenomenal number of submissions this year, but the quality of entries was also impressive. I congratulate all our finalists and, of course, our winners.”

Eighteen winners were acknowledged during the ceremony.
