The Gladys Elphick Awards Committee is a volunteer group who have been successfully organising and hosting the Gladys Elphick Awards Ceremony since 2003. 

The Gladys Elphick Awards celebrate the life achievements of the late Aunty Gladys Elphick and her fellow members of the Council of Aboriginal Women of South Australia.  The awards acknowledge the contemporary achievements of Aboriginal women who work tirelessly to advance the status of Aboriginal people through a wide range of mediums.
