Support for entrants

To assist Northern Territory tourism operators with the preparation of submissions for the 2024 Brolga Awards, Tourism NT will continue to offer a free assistance program:

• Judges feedback for previous entrants.
• Up to 1 hour support for entrants who do not have QTF accreditation or Star Ratings to assist with the business or accommodation standards requirements which must be submitted by Monday 19 August 2024.
• One on one mentoring appointments.

We encourage all entrants to get their final draft submission reviewed (mock judged). This is completed via the online system from 1 August to COB 21 August 2024.   

To take advantage of the above, businesses must nominate to enter the awards.  Nominations are obligation free and will ensure that you receive regular updates on the 2024 program.

Submission copywriters 

The Brolga Awards team can supply a list of consultants who offer a submission writing and editing services. It is up to the individual entrant to make contact with the businesses and obtain their own quotes. These businesses trade as a fee for service – they are not part of the Tourism NT free assistance program.

Please note Tourism NT recommends that entrants undertake their own research and reference checks before engaging.

Support is being offered through Tourism Top End and Tourism Central Australia to engage a professional consultant to assist with writing and editing submissions.
