The late Peter Edwards AM was involved for many years in redefining services for people with intellectual disability. Each year his significant contribution is recognised through an award established in his name.

The award is granted in two categories:

• To a person with intellectual disability in recognition of personal development and/or achievement(s).
• To a person who works with people with intellectual disability in recognition of their personal contribution to the lives of people with intellectual disability. (Non-profit groups such as community social/recreation groups may also be nominated, as it is recognised that their achievements can be attributed to the efforts of the entire group rather than one particular individual.)

The award comprises a financial component to assist the successful nominee in their endeavours, which could include (but is not restricted to) undertaking a project; attending a conference; pursuing activities that enhance the life of the person with intellectual disability; training or skills development programs; or purchasing software or equipment.

Nominations
Nominations can be made by any person or organisation. Nomination forms are available from Jill Searle, telephone 8372 1406 or email jill.searle@dcsi.sa.gov.au .
