ABOUT THE AWARDS

The 2025 PIPA Awards for Excellence celebrated the amazing professionals who live, work, and breathe property investing in Australia.

Across a range of categories, we showcased our members’ achievements over the past 12 months.

The awards focused on professionalism, best practice, as well as our members’ professional or business achievements throughout 2024.  

You can view the nominees and winners of the 2024 PIPA Awards for Excellence here.

Meet our Winners!

The judges spent hours pouring over all the nominations received for the awards and assessing applications based on a range of criteria.

We were very pleased to see such a high standard of entries and found it very difficult to narrow down the field to the finalists in each category.

We had an amazing time celebrating with all our finalists and their guests at the 2025 PIPA Awards for Excellence black tie gala at The Emporium in Brisbane on Thursday 29 May 2025.

Congratulations to all the finalists in the 2025 PIPA Awards for Excellence and to our winners:
