Winners announced at the State Library of Victoria on Tuesday, 28 May
“The Social Enterprise Awards are a celebration of excellence. They recognise the incredible journeys, the successes, the failures, the blood sweat and tears, the personal challenges, the amazing accomplishments and the absolute magnificence of these remarkable businesses called social enterprises… Social Enterprises are businesses calibrated to make the market do good stuff, to make the market deliver the social justice that it is capable of delivering.â€
