Nominations are invited for a recipient of the Education Medal to be awarded by the Australian Union Conference Board of Education. The Education Medal is intended to give due recognition to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to Adventist education in Australia. It may be given to a professional educator or to any individual whose outstanding interest and involvement in Adventist education is worthy of special acknowledgment.

A joint project between Avondale College, the Australian Union Conference and the South Pacific Division to reposition teaching as a ministry was launched nationally in Seventh-day Adventist churches on 15 September 2007. Affirmation of teachers, the “desperate” need for more teachers in Christian schools and a desire for Adventist Church administrators to recognise education as a “mainstream” form of evangelism provided the impetus for the initiative.
