In a gala event held at Crown Casino in Melbourne on 26 October 2016, the 2016 Australian Service Excellence Award winners were announced by the Customer Service Institute of Australia (CSIA).
The winners are determined through an online submission, telephone interview and for the centre awards, a two-hour site visit.
