In 2019, Brendon and his team won the Tony Staley Award for Excellence in Community Broadcasting for their coverage of issues relating to the Murray-Darling basin. His work also includes facilitating numerous projects that address the challenges and barriers faced by First Nations people, as well as fostering social and emotional wellbeing in the local community.

Community Broadcasting Foundation acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which our organisation was founded. We pay our respects to all First Nations people across Australia, including those sitting at the heart of community broadcasting. We recognise and honour their enduring connection to country and community and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as our lands first storytellers. We acknowledge the resilience and wisdom of First Nations people, honouring Elders who have guided in the past and those who continue to inspire us today.

Always was, always will be.
