Members of the public are invited to cast their votes for the 2024 Fred Awards, part of the annual Fred and Humanity Awards.
The Fred and Humanity Awards celebrate Australians who care for others in a decent, practical and no-nonsense manner, just as Fred Hollows did.
This year, two finalists have been named in the Fred Awards: Vi Bui, who has dedicated her life to helping those affected by hearing loss, and Beryl Paul, who has spent more than three decades knitting and crocheting for charity.
The Foundation will announce the winner at The Fred and Humanity Awards ceremony on Monday 11 November at The University of Sydney.
Gabi Hollows, Founding Director of The Foundation said, “Fred believed that Australians had an amazing ability to care for others and help those in need.
“The Fred and Humanity Awards are our way to give back to the community which has kept Fred’s vision alive for over three decades.
