Communications/Incident Management Volunteer of the Year

The Coastguard Communications/Incident Management Volunteer of the Year award recognises excellence in the performance of Radio Operators and Volunteers working in Incident Management roles that support Search and Rescue and Coastguard Operations. 

Volunteers fulfilling these roles are the nerve centre of our operations, the connection between our volunteers on the water and up in the sky, boaties and our emergency service partners. This award recognises the vital contribution these roles give to saving lives at sea. 

Criteria

You know the person or unit you’re nominating is great – that’s why you’re nominating them! But the judges want to know the details of why this person or unit deserves to be recognised above all others, and that they meet the award criteria. Please ensure you're read the criteria for this award and provide examples in your nomination of how the nominee has met the criteria.  

Photos, videos and other supporting documents are helpful to paint a picture for the judges and bring your nomination to life. If you have a photo of the nominee, or a team photo if it’s a group award, you can upload any supporting images or documentation via the online nomination form or by emailing any supporting images or documentation along with your unit name and award category to [email protected]. 

Heads up: You can complete part of the form and come back to it later. As long as you use the same device, your progress will be saved.
