Elevating Asian-Australian leadership

Since 2019, Johnson Partners and Asialink have proudly co-convened the Asian-Australian Leadership Awards – previously known as the ‘40 under 40 Most Influential Asian-Australian Awards’ – to recognise and celebrate the outstanding leadership and contributions of Asian-Australians. Supporting partners in prior years were the ANU Centre for Asian-Australian Leadership (CAAL) and PWC.

Now in its fifth year, the Awards seek to reshape the debate and confront Australia’s “bamboo ceiling” – the underrepresentation of Asian-Australians in leadership positions.

As communities, companies and governments rethink leadership for the challenges facing society ahead, now is the time to propel the leadership capabilities that exist within the Asian-Australian community and promote the immense contributions they make to Australia.
