Public  servants now have the opportunity to nominate their peers for the FHC Civil Servants of the Year Awards 2025.

Nomination forms are available on the Credit Union’s and the Ministry’s websites until the nomination period closes on Friday, August 29, 2025.

This, the 21^st  staging of the awards ceremony will again feature the People’s Choice Award, allowing civil servants to vote for their selected Civil Servant of the Year.

Category winners each receive a cash prize of $200,000 along with a joint corporate social responsibility project award valued at $150,000.

“Civil Servants, you work with hard-working and exemplary colleagues everyday. This is your chance to recognise them,” said Michelle Tracey, Assistant General Manager — Marketing, Communications and Member Experience at FHC. “And, if you feel that you deserve to be recognised, nominate yourself.”
