About WAACA.

We Recognise

The Western Australian African Communities Awards (WAACA Awards) recognise the positive contribution and impact of African Australians in WA. The awards acknowledge young people, innovators, business leaders, community leaders, and champions for their contributions to the African Australian community locally, state-wide, and nationally. The Awards also reward outstanding community groups and organisations that support the state’s multicultural agendas.

The Venue

The annual African community Awards honour and celebrate the contribution, resilience, and strength of members of the community, partners, and institutions in Western Australia.

This annual event which is the Grand Finale of Australia Africa Week, will take place
on Saturday, September 7th, 2024, at the Pan Pacific Hotel Downtown Perth.

WAACA Awards Theme

“Building a Vibrant, Resilient, and Strong African Community.” Besides receiving awards for their achievements, attendees and finalists network and share information on the outstanding contributions of African Australians not recognised by the mainstream.
