The Premier's Public Sector Awards have been presented since 1997 to encourage and acknowledge outstanding projects and initiatives which have produced proven benefits for NSW. They formally recognise and reward achievements of excellence and provide an opportunity to showcase the New South Wales public sector's commitment to quality and the provision of service.

Nominations are now invited for 2005. The closing date for entries is Monday 11 July 2005.

The Awards are open to all public sector agencies including departments, authorities, boards, commissions, government trading enterprises and state owned corporations. The Awards recognise achievements in the following categories:

• Business, Management and Financial Performance
• Community Building
• Information and Communications Technology
• Service Delivery
• Services to Rural/Regional NSW
• Social Justice
• The Environment and Natural Resources
• Workforce Development

Nominated projects may be large or small, single or multi-agency. A copy of the Guidelines and Nomination Form is attached. Please note that nominations are to be submitted electronically.

Details of the 2004 Award winners are on the Premier's Department website under What's New.

I encourage all Chief Executives to nominate achievements from their organisations for a 2005 Premier's Public Sector Award.
