The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award - Australia is a leading structured (non-formal education) youth development program, empowering all young Australians aged 14-24 to explore their full potential and find their purpose, passion and place in the world, regardless of their location or circumstance. The Duke of Ed is a fully inclusive program and has no social, political, or religious affiliations.
To achieve the Duke of Ed, each young person must learn a skill, improve their physical well being, volunteer in their community and experience a team adventure in a new environment. All Participants are supported by a network of adult Award Leaders, Assessors, and Supervisors.
The key elements of our program are:
Open to all young people aged 14 to 24.
Three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold – each progressively more challenging.
Four Sections: Physical Recreation, Skills, Voluntary Service, Adventurous Journey plus Gold Residential Project (Gold Level only).
Achieving a Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award recognises individual goal setting and self-improvement through persistence and achievement.
