The Project Management Institute Western Australia Chapter is proud to celebrate a significant milestone with its 25th Anniversary Celebration and Awards Ceremony, an evening recognising excellence, innovation, leadership, and impact across the Western Australian project management community.
This special event will bring together project professionals, industry leaders, academics, sponsors, volunteers, and emerging talent to reflect on 25 years of contribution to the profession while celebrating the achievements shaping the future of project delivery in Western Australia.
The PMI WA Awards Program recognises outstanding performance in project delivery and professional practice across a diverse range of industries and sectors. The awards showcase projects and professionals delivering measurable economic, social, environmental, and community outcomes while highlighting innovation, leadership, sustainability, and excellence in governance and delivery.
A single nomination provides eligible PMI WA members with the opportunity to be considered for both the PMI Australia Project Management Awards 2026 and the PMI WA Awards. Following the same nomination process, eligible PMI WA members will be assessed for both award programs, with the Western Australian award recipients announced at the PMI WA 25th Anniversary and Awards Event on Friday, 18 September 2026.
