2024 Premier’s Excellence Awards – Live Stream
IPAA SA is proud to host a live stream of the Premier’s Excellence Awards, which celebrate the outstanding individuals and teams in the South Australian public sector who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional outcomes for our state.
As the highest honor within the public sector, these awards recognise the dedication, innovation, and commitment of public servants who exemplify the Public Sector Values in their work. Every day, more than 118,000 public sector employees provide essential services that impact the lives of South Australians—often without seeking recognition. The Premier’s Excellence Awards offer a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate their invaluable contributions.
The 2024 Premier’s Excellence Awards feature 11 awards across six categories, showcasing the breadth of talent and service within the public sector.
2024 Finalists.
This year, we received over 140 outstanding nominations, highlighting the extraordinary work being done across government. Congratulations to all the finalists—your efforts continue to make a meaningful difference to South Australia.

The Hon Peter Malinauskas MP
Premier
South Australia
Peter led the South Australian Labor Party to victory at the March 2022 state election becoming the 47th Premier of South Australia.
With a focus on health, education, jobs, skills and the environment, Peter was elected with a plan not just for the next four years but for the next generation.
Prior to being elected Premier of South Australia, Peter was the Leader of the Opposition between 2018-22 bringing a constructive alternative approach to the challenges facing South Australia during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
During the Weatherill Labor Government Peter held the portfolios of Minister for Police, Correctional Services, Emergency Services and Road Safety (2016-2017) and Minister for Health, Mental Health and Substance Abuse (2017-2018).
He first entered state parliament as a member of the Legislative Council in 2015 before being elected as the member for Croydon in 2018.
In Peter’s spare time, he can often be found at a Port Adelaide game or out on the footy field playing with his beloved Adelaide Uni Blacks.
Peter’s great love though is his family. Peter and his wife Annabel have three young children Sophie, Jack, and Eliza.
