ATTA Hill 20XX Nominations

The ATTA Hill Medal was first introduced in 2000 and is awarded in recognition of its outstanding contribution to Australasian tax teaching and policy.

The ATTA Hill Medal is awarded at the discretion of the ATTA Executive based on nomination. As this Medal is awarded to recognise an outstanding contribution the expectation is that, if a Medal is awarded at ATTA’s Annual Conference, then at most one person will be recognised. In exceptional situations where there are two equal nominees in a year two Medals may be awarded.

Nominations need to be forwarded to Brett Bondfield at (brett.bondfield60@gmail.com) by 15 November 2023.
