The residential community support program received recognition for making an outstanding contribution in the category of widening participation.
The program is delivered to up to 1000 students within residential accommodation facilities at both the Ballarat and Gippsland campuses annually.
Live, Learn, Lead includes programs, activities and opportunities such as a guest speaker program, special interest sessions and interactive workshops.
Director of campus life Colin Marshall said the program initiatives directly contributed to closing the gap for regional students and increased their ability to access, participate in and actively engage in their tertiary education.
The Australian Awards for University Teaching was held at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House in Canberra.
