2026 Kismet Awards Finalists Announced

The 2026 Kismet Awards Finalists have been announced!

From an outstanding field of nominations, our independent Jury has spent the past few months carefully reviewing every entry, assessing them individually before coming together to debate, discuss and decide this year's Finalists. It's a thorough process, and one we don't take lightly, because the people, providers, programs and products on this list represent some of the very best of what's happening across disability services and healthcare right now.

Congratulations to every Finalist. Being recognised among a field this strong is a genuine achievement, and we want to thank you for the impact you continue to make in the lives of the people you support.

A huge thank you also goes to our Jury, for the time, expertise and care they brought to this year's judging, and to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination. You're the reason this program exists.

Now, it's your turn.

People's Choice voting is officially open. This is your chance to get behind the Finalist you admire most and help them take home this year's People's Choice Award.
