These awards are presented to groups or citizens who have made an outstanding contribution to the Toowoomba Region community.
The following list includes the 2026 Toowoomba Region Australia Day award recipients across our respective service areas who have been nominated by their peers for commendable service and, in some cases, years of volunteering for many different community, charitable and sporting organisations.
Congratulations to all our award recipients.
