The awards are named after Kim Beazley Sr., the Federal Education Minister during the Whitlam government

The Beazley Medals are two annual awards awarded by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (and previously the Curriculum Council of Australia). The award is the highest profile and most prestigious academic award for secondary students in Australia. From 2001 onwards, two medals have been awarded each year — one to the top TEE student (ACE from 2010 onward) and one to the top vocational education and training (VET) student.[1]

The medal was first awarded in 1984 and is named after former Federal Education Minister Kim Beazley Sr.[1] In 2000, a new student award, the Excellence in Vocational Studies Award, was introduced for the student who demonstrated the best results in a secondary school vocational program.[2] The award was renamed the Beazley Medal: VET in the following year to reflect its equal status.[3]
