Melbourne Asia Game Changer Awards

The Melbourne Asia Game Changer initiative showcases under-recognised and inspirational individuals who are making a positive contribution to Australia’s relationship with Asia.

RMIT Culture is proud to be partnering with Asia Society Australia to help honour champions of recovery – leaders who have reactivated our community post-pandemic and kept us connected with Asia.

After a public nomination campaign across Australia, this year's Game Changers will take their place in Asia Society’s global Asia Game Changer winners list - an illustrious group that includes the likes of Naomi Osaka, Yoyo Ma and BTS.

Launched last year, the Melbourne Asia Game Changer initiative showcases under-recognised and inspirational individuals who are making a positive contribution to Australia’s relationship with Asia.

The series brings greater acknowledgement to Australians who are making a meaningful impact across the region in the fields of the arts, health, science, sport, business, media and community advocacy.

The evening promises to be a night of celebration convened by broadcaster, radio producer and journalist, Beverley Wang, creator of the ABC podcast ‘It's Not A Race’. The Game Changers will join Beverley for a panel discussion on stage to share their achievements with the wider Asia Society community.

The event will be followed by a celebratory cocktail in The Capitol's Salon to celebrate the Game Changers and bring an end to a busy 2022.
