SYDNEY, 22 May 2025 — Launch is named the winner for Excellence in Social Purpose and a finalist for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at the 2025 RCSA Industry Awards.

Presented annually by the Recruitment, Consulting & Staffing Association (RCSA), the awards recognise outstanding achievements across the recruitment and staffing sector in Australia and New Zealand. From innovation and client service to candidate care and contribution to community, the awards celebrate the diverse ways the recruitment and staffing industry support people, organisations and industry.

The team at Launch is proud to be recognised for the values-driven work that underpins our business. Since 2006, we’ve operated with a commitment to creating positive change—for our candidates, clients, team and broader community. Winning the award for Excellence in Social Purpose, alongside being shortlisted for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, reflects the strength of our long-standing Launch Giving program and the inclusive practices we foster within our business and in partnership with our clients.

“Contributing to something greater than ourselves not only strengthens our purpose—it makes us better people,” said Rebecca Wallace, Founder and Director at Launch. “Thank you to the RCSA for this recognition. We’re proud to be part of a collective effort creating lasting, positive change. It’s our privilege to give back to the community.”

Through Launch Giving, we have supported a broad range of grassroots community organisations with causes including environment, health, wellbeing and disadvantaged communities. We also support our team members in their own giving efforts—whether through sponsored initiatives, fundraising support or extended leave to volunteer. Giving is embedded in our culture and continues to shape how we show up for others.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are also core to Launch’s internal culture and external work. We support clients to build inclusive hiring practices and foster a workplace where authenticity and difference are genuinely valued.

“Thank you to the RCSA for recognising our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. Belonging is a right—not a privilege. We’re proud to help our clients achieve their specific DEI goals by building truly inclusive teams,” said Wallace.

To be recognised alongside others within our industry making a difference is an honour. Congratulations to all who were shortlisted and won awards for their outstanding work in client services, candidate excellence, innovation and for supporting people, community and the industry.
