#CPIR2025Awards Finals 12Aug2025: Category C - Excellence in Consumer Partner Capacity Building

On the 12-13 Aug 2025, AccessCR hosted a virtual Awards event to showcase and celebrate excellence in consumer partnership and participant experience in health and medical research in Australia. This event provided a unique platform for showcasing the contributions and impact of consumers to research. Though there are Award winners, in our view, every story, every action, is a step in the right direction to fully embedding the consumer voice in research. The platinum sponsor was Bellberry Limited (https://bellberry.com.au/). Please see the opening session for information on all the event sponsors and supporters.
