Sir Roden Cutler Award Nomination - 2018/19
The Primary Club of Australia is on the search for Australia’s most extraordinary athlete with a disability to be named the recipient of the 2018 Sir Roden Cutler Award.
The Sir Roden Cutler Award, which has been run by The Primary Club of Australia since 1999, recognises athletes with a disability who display enormous determination and dedication in their sporting pursuits, inspire the nation and are the embodiment of the Australian spirit.
Named in honour of The Primary Club of Australia’s first ever Twelfth Man and Patron and the longest-serving Governor of New South Wales, the Award is one of the many initiatives of the Primary Club of Australia to help ensure that people with disabilities are provided the opportunity to participate in sport and recreational activities. Sir Roden was himself an amputee following a war injury as well as a winner of the VC; he was also a keen sportsman and encouraged participation by people with a disability.

We are seeking nominations from sporting associations, the disability sector and the wider community, on who should be in the running to be recognised with this prestigious award for 2018.
This year, the Primary Club of Australia will be awarding the winner a $20,000 grant for sporting and recreational equipment to an organisation they choose which conforms to the Club’s charter, for providing sporting and recreational equipment and facilities. It will also recognise four finalists with a $2,000 grant for an organisation of their choice that meets the club charter.
Thanks for your nomination.
