Property visits judging reimbursements
To protect the anonymity and integrity of the judging process, and to simplify nominations, the AHA (Vic) State Awards for Excellence will continue to operate without judging vouchers.

Instead, pubs and hotels nominating in the Dining, General, Accommodation, Gaming and Wagering award categories will be invoiced for the actual cost of judging in each applicable category.

Depending on the award category, the judging costs may include additional expenses required to complete the assessment.

For example, for the Best Family Dining awards, the judging cost will cover the expenses associated with a family dining at your pub or hotel as part of the assessment process.

Reimbursements may include, but not are not limited to:

  • Dining Awards: Two courses and two beverages for one person.
  • Family dining: Two courses and two beverages for two people and one kids meal.
  • General Awards: One meal and two beverages for one person.
  • Accommodation Awards: One night's accommodation - standard room, one meal, two beverages and breakfast for one person and parking (if applicable).
  • Gaming and wagering: Two beverages and $10 wager.

**Best Live Entertainment Venue may include the cost of tickets, if applicable. 

Reimbursement Process
Once judging has been completed, participating pubs and hotels will be invoiced for the actual cost of the property visit for the following award categories: Dining, General, Accommodation, Gaming and Wagering.

To protect the anonymity of our judges, any identifying information may be removed from supporting documentation provided to participating properties.

All invoices must be paid within 14 days from the invoice date.

Any properties with an outstanding invoice (including reimbursements or tickets) after Friday, 14 May will be ineligible to receive an award.
