Gli Helpmann Awards sono dei premi australiani che rendono omaggio a vari aspetti artistici o di successo dell'industria live del Paese dei canguri. I riconoscimenti, istituiti nel 2001, prendono nome da Sir Robert Helpmann e vengono assegnati dalla Australian Entertainment Industry Association (AEIA). I premi, in un certo senso, assomigliano ai Tony Awards di Broadway e ai londinesi Laurence Olivier Awards. La prossima cerimonia di conferimento si terrà presso la Opera House di Sidney il 24 settembre. La lista completa dele nomination:
