Recipients https://www.multiculturalcommission.vic.gov.au/victorian-refugee-awards

Note, unlike the UNHCR award above, the Victorian Refugee Award is not (yet) notable in its own right, and therefore winning it is not a good indicator of notability. So for the winners below, editors will need to be careful to establish notability as per WP:GNG, do not rely on the award only.
