The PIPA Awards for Excellence are judged by some of Australia’s most experienced and ethical property investment experts and practitioners — handpicked because of their objectivity and commitment to best practice.

Each award entry will be judged against set criteria that recognises factors such as excellence in customer service, significant achievements, strategic advice, professional development, best practice, as well as adhering to the PIPA Code of Conduct.   

All PIPA corporate and individual members as well as QPIA members that meet the required eligibility criteria are encouraged to participate in the PIPA Awards for Excellence program.

All questions asked in the nomination form are listed in the PIPA Awards Criteria documents on this page. We recommend you download the document appropriate to your award and ensure you are able to answer all the questions before starting your application. We also encourage you to add supporting documents such as case studies and testimonials as appropriate.

The nomination form can be found on this page. After agreeing to the terms and conditions you may complete your nomination in your selected category. We suggest completing all answers in a word document, and collating your supporting documents before you start the form, so you can copy and paste your answers into the required fields. Note there is a maximum of 400 words per answer.

You are welcome to nominate in as many categories as you are eligible.

Yes, you must complete a separate nomination form for each category, as the questions for each category are different.
