All eligible nominees of a Casey Australia Day Award will be honoured at a formal function, held on Australia Day.

The awards are conducted under the auspices of the Australia Day Council (Victoria) in accordance with their guidelines of the National Australia Day Council yet allowing at the local level for each municipality to adapt and broaden the scope of the awards to better reflect their community.

The City of Casey also recognises, that some people who do not reside in the municipality may nevertheless have contributed greatly to the Casey community and therefore have a category for a Casey Non-resident of the Year Award.

The City of Casey further recognises the contribution of groups and organisations who conduct a one-off community event or activity or a one-off fundraising community event or activity in Casey for the benefit of the wider community.
