We’re thrilled to share that Redback has brought home three awards at the 2025 Australian Web Awards!
This year’s accolades include category wins in Financial Services for our work on Invest Lake Mac, and a double honour in Community & Culture and Best in Show: Content for the Multicultural NSW Compass & Playbook.
That marks Redback’s fourth year running as an Australian Web Award winner!
In 2022, we were recognised for Best Medium Business Website, followed by an Innovation award in 2023 for our work with the Clooney Foundation for Justice. Last year, we took out two more trophies for Bounce LED in the Medium Business and Construction & Manufacturing categories.
It’s a huge moment for our team, and we’re proud to continue flying the flag for creative, user-focused digital design.
11 nominations across 10 categories

Invest Lake Mac: Putting regional investment on the digital map
Winning the Financial Services category, Invest Lake Mac is a prime example of how powerful web design and data-driven storytelling can help regional initiatives gain ground online.
Commissioned by Dantia, the economic development arm of Lake Macquarie City Council, the site needed to attract business investment and showcase the community’s financial strengths.
To achieve this, we built a modern website that highlights key local industries, investment opportunities, business success stories, and lifestyle benefits. All complete with a custom map finder tool.
The new site has put Lake Macquarie firmly on the radar of national and international investors — and now, the Australian Web Awards too!
Multicultural NSW: A clear win for content and culture
We’re incredibly proud that our work on the Multicultural NSW Compass & Playbook won in both the Community & Culture and Best in Show: Content categories.
This dual victory celebrates not just the design and UX but also the integrity and clarity of the content itself, which was central to the project’s purpose.
Ultimately, the Compass & Playbook platform was created to help government agencies and community organisations connect more effectively with multicultural communities across NSW.
Our work included a fully custom-designed and developed WordPress website, featuring:
- The Multicultural NSW Compass – an interactive tool that presents relevant ABS Census data in a clear, engaging way
- The Multicultural NSW Playbook – a practical digital guide for delivering inclusive and culturally aware communications
This digital experience is clear, practical, and simple to navigate, helping teams across NSW build trust and deliver better outcomes for everybody.
‘Twas a team effort as always…
