Honouring Excellence Celebrating Community

The ABAW Business Excellence Awards, proudly presented by the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse (ABAW) celebrate outstanding achievements across a wide range of industries within Whitehorse’s thriving Asian-Australian business community.

This prestigious event recognises Whitehorse entrepreneurs, and organisations who demonstrate excellence in innovation, leadership, and community impact. From retail and hospitality to construction, education, finance, tourism, and social responsibility—our Awards highlight the incredible contributions of small businesses driving economic growth and cultural diversity across the state.

With the valued support of the Victorian Government through Business Victoria, the Awards reflect a shared commitment to empowering small business success and promoting a vibrant, inclusive business environment. Together, we shine a spotlight on those making a lasting impact in their industries and local communities. 

Each finalist is selected through a transparent and independent judging process, ensuring that every recognition is earned and meaningful. The annual Awards Gala is a signature celebration of business excellence—bringing together leaders, changemakers, sponsors, and government representatives for an inspiring night of networking, storytelling, and recognition.

At ABAW, we believe that when we elevate local businesses, we strengthen our entire community.
