Sponsorship Opportunities Now Open for the 2026 Blind Australian of the Year Awards

Link Vision is now inviting organisations to become sponsors of the 2026 Blind Australian of the Year Awards, Australia’s premier celebration of the achievements, leadership and contributions of Australians who are blind or vision impaired.

Partner with us and join a growing network of businesses and organisations committed to inclusion, accessibility and meaningful community impact.

For more than 50 years, Link Vision has supported Australians who are blind or vision impaired through affordable accommodation and programs that promote independence, empowerment and recognition. Our flagship annual event, the Blind Australian of the Year Awards, is held alongside the Community Inclusion Expo, bringing together business, government, community leaders and advocates for an inspiring evening of celebration and connection.

Sponsoring the Awards demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to equality, leadership and inclusion while aligning your brand with one of Australia’s most respected national events celebrating blind excellence.
