QCT TEACHX Awards
What are the TEACHX Awards?
The TEACHX Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of teachers in Queensland.
Every year, teachers from across Queensland’s schooling sectors and early childhood education and care services are nominated by peers who share stories of their colleagues’ inspirational work.
The QCT is proud to give a voice to these stories and shine a spotlight on the extraordinary work being done by these remarkable individuals within the profession.
Commencing in 2009, the TEACHX Awards exemplify significant teacher contributions to schools and early childhood communities across Queensland, attracting thousands of nominations for registered teachers who have achieved exceptional outcomes.
To be nominated for a TEACHX Award is an achievement in itself. Winning a TEACHX category signifies teaching quality and dedication and is a mark of distinction.

How do they work?
- During the nomination period (28 April to 13 June 2025), registered teachers nominate colleagues whose work and achievements meet an award category’s description and selection criteria.
- The judging panel meets soon after to shortlist nominations for consideration and progression to the finalist round.
- In early October, 31 recipients across the seven categories are publicly announced on the QCT website and social media channels.
- Five recipients are awarded per category, except for the Emeritus Professor Nola Alloway Excellence in Teacher Education Award that goes to one recipient.
- At the end of October, recipients and their guests attend the TEACHX Awards ceremony in Brisbane to be celebrated and receive their prizes.
- Each recipient receives a TEACHX trophy for their award category and $1,000 towards professional development costs.
