Franchise Industry Awards 2025

The inaugural Franchise Industry Awards (FIAs) is a groundbreaking celebration of excellence within the Australian franchise sector.

Designed to honour the achievements of franchisees, franchisors, suppliers, service providers, and people, the FIA promises to become the signature event for the entire franchising industry.

The Gala Black-Tie Awards Night will be held on Wednesday, 25th June 2025, at the Fullerton Hotel Grand Ballroom in Sydney. The evening will conclude with an exclusive After Party, allowing attendees to celebrate together in style.

Designed as the signature event for the industry, it will not only showcase excellence but also highlight the broader impact of franchising to industry stakeholders, government, media, and consumers.

Entry to the awards is free of charge and will be via a dedicated and secure online portal and open to both FCA members and non-members. Award nominees, finalists, and winners will receive unique FIA logos to showcase their achievements, providing a valuable recognition tool for their businesses.

The Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) also invites you to an exclusive Franchise Forum also at the Fullerton Hotel Sydney on 25th June 2025. This full-day event of insights and connections is designed to shape the future of franchising and is available exclusively to those attending the FIAs. Open to both FCA members and non-members, the forum provides a unique opportunity to engage with industry leaders and peers. A purchase of a ticket to the FIAs grants complimentary access to the forum, creating a seamless and enriching experience for attendees. Scroll down to learn more
