2026 NEITA NOMINATION INFORMATION
FOR SCHOOLS AND PARENTS
The National Excellence in Teaching Awards (NEiTA) is the longest running, community based awards program that recognises teaching excellence in Australia and New Zealand. The NEiTA Foundation was founded in 1994 to deliver these awards and continues to be generously funded by Futurity Investment Group.
Now is the time to think about who you might nominate this year. It is free to nominate and there is no cost for winners to attend the awards ceremony.
Every year, our NEiTA winners are celebrated at an Award Ceremony, all expenses paid.
All NEiTA winners receive a $10,000 Professional Development Grant, a glass blown apple trophy and a framed certificate.

a) Disclose the nominator’s identity to the early childhood educator, centre director, teacher, or principal without the prior permission of the nominator.
b) Disclose the nominated early childhood educator, centre director, teacher, or principal’s details to the media or any other organisation without their prior permission (see NEiTA Privacy Statement).
