The Victorian Bar has a proud culture and tradition of providing pro bono assistance. Nominating an individual, or a team, is a terrific way to acknowledge the value that members of Bar bring to the community in undertaking pro bono work.
The next Pro Bono Awards ceremony is scheduled for March 2023. Usually, the call for nominations occurs for a limited period before the ceremony. However, nominations for the 2023 awards are now open from August 2021 to November 2022 – this will enable you to immediately recognise members' outstanding pro bono activities by submitting a nomination as they occur.
Please use this form to make your nomination. Enter your details, and can you check the box if you would like your nomination to remain confidential. You may nominate an individual or a team in as many award categories as is appropriate. You will need to provide an explanation in support of your nomination. If you wish to nominate more than one person for the same award, please include all names in your response. You can make multiple separate submissions.
This form is designed to help you provide relevant information to assist the Committee in considering nominations. While it is not mandatory to respond to all questions, the Committee asks that you include as much information as you can so that Committee members can assess your nomination.
The Victorian Bar Pro Bono Committee thanks you for your time in completing the nomination.
