IF you know someone who has made an exceptional and sustained contribution to the Australian wool industry, now is the time to nominate them for the 2022 Australian Wool Industry Medal.

Wool Industries Australia Inc (WIA) has presented 29 Medals to outstanding recipients since 2017.

The Medal recognises workers in all areas of the wool industry, including wool growers, technical analysts, wool classers, brokers, exporters, agricultural scientists, and more. 

Before nominating someone, WIA encourages locals to consider if the person has demonstrated a service worthy of recognition, or if they have made a contribution that had a major impact on the wool industry in either a particular field, industry sector, or the wool industry at large.

WIA is the peak body for the Australian wool industry, with members including the Australian Council of Wool Exporters and Processors, Australian Wool Exchange, AWH Pty Ltd, Australian Wool Innovation, and Australian Wool Testing Authority.

Nominations for the 2022 Australian Wool Industry Medal are open now and close on May 2.
