We are incredibly proud and grateful to celebrate our nominees for the 2026 Tasmanian Disability Awards! 🌟

To have our participants, team members and OCSS recognised through so many nominations is truly humbling. 🥰

Each nomination reflects the dedication, courage, growth and positive impact demonstrated throughout our community every day.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination and acknowledge the achievements of our wonderful participants, staff and organization.
Your support means more to us than words can express.

Congratulations to all nominees across Tasmania - we look forward to celebrating with you later this month!
