The wait is over! The finalists for the 2026 SSAA Awards for Excellence, presented by VISY Specialties, have been announced. This year’s finalists span innovative ideas, impressive facility transformations, community initiatives, sustainability leadership and outstanding individual achievement.

The Awards continue to reflect the diversity of our industry, recognising excellence across facility performance, management, service, innovation, sustainability, community engagement and broader industry contribution.
Across 10 hotly contested categories, our independent judging panel had the challenging task of reviewing a strong field of entries and narrowing them down to this year’s finalists. And now, we’re delighted to introduce the 2026 SSAA Awards for Excellence finalists.
