Among those awarded last year was Dr Hamoudi Neshmi Aldyni. He received the Outstanding Individual Achievement Award in recognition for his work supporting new migrants and refugees. While the City of Adelaide Participation and Inclusion Team were the winner of the Public Sector Award for their initiatives to assist people from diverse communities to feel welcome, which included organising several inclusive events.
