Welcome to the Business Excellence Awards, presented by Bendigo Bank and Be.Bendigo.

Be part of the Bendigo Bank and Be.Bendigo Business Excellence Awards – Celebrating 30 years of Business Excellence

2025 marks a major milestone—30 years of the Bendigo Business Excellence Awards. First established in 1994 by the Rotary Club of Bendigo Sandhurst, and now proudly delivered by Be.Bendigo, the awards have grown from just 6 categories to over 20, including the prestigious Business of the Year.

This program remains the largest and most recognised business awards initiative in Greater Bendigo. Over three decades, it has provided thousands of businesses with the opportunity to reflect, grow, and be celebrated for their contributions to our thriving community.

Supported by our Major Partner Bendigo Bank and a network of category sponsors, the program continues to evolve, yet remains grounded in its mission to celebrate excellence, build capacity, and recognise the people and businesses who make Bendigo great.

2025 Awards Program

This year’s award categories have been reviewed and some essential updates made to ensure relevancy and inclusiveness. There is a category for every Greater Bendigo business to get excited about.
