Winner of the 2025 Property Council of Australia National Innovation & Excellence Award

We’re absolutely thrilled to have won the 2025 Property Council of Australia National Innovation & Excellence Award for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion!

This award is Australia’s most prestigious recognition of innovation, leadership, and impact across the property industry, and it’s a testament to the passion and commitment of our people, partners, and advocates.

It was a proud moment for all of us as Chief Executive Officer, James Patterson and Office Support, Katelyn Day took to the stage to accept the award on behalf of Knight Frank Australia.

Celebrating with our DEI Partners 

Sharing this win with our partners at Jobsupport, Bandu, and Redfern Jarjum College who joined us for the event, made the evening truly special. These organisations are at the heart of our DEI journey, and we’re proud to champion deep, meaningful partnerships that create real impact. 

Diversity, equity and inclusion isn’t just a box we tick. It’s woven into everything we do. Our leaders and teams stand visibly and vocally for inclusion, championing a rich and vibrant workplace where everyone belongs.

Why we won

• We build deep, personalised relationships with small organisations, creating tangible outcomes for the communities we support.
• Our Employee Advocacy Groups ensure every voice is heard, valued, and celebrated.
• We use AI to identify, analyse, and tackle challenges like the gender pay gap.
• We’ve transformed sponsorships into opportunities to amplify DEI thought leadership across the industry.

A huge thank you to our Employee Advocacy Groups, our Operations, People & Culture and Marketing & Communications teams for bringing our vision to life every day.

And thank you to every advocate, ally and changemaker at Knight Frank Australia - this win belongs to all of us.
