During the 2020 Australia Day Ceremony at Cook Park, Orange Push For Palliative won the Community Group of the Year Award, its second award on this national day of celebration. The group secured a four-bed palliative care trial last year.

The Old Orange Rockers, who organised a live music concert featuring Orange musicians from the 1960s and early 1970s, was the Community Event of the Year.

There were two nominees in each category. Riding for the Disabled was also nominated for the group of the year award and Orange Anzac Day received a certificate of recognition for event of year.
