Nominate your local hero

This year has been incredibly tough for everyone, but when times are tough, people come together and every day we're hearing stories about Australians doing great things for each other.

Here at Today, we want to shine a light on those local heroes and with support from Commonwealth Bank, salute Australians who show a can-do attitude when faced with adversity.

If you know someone who is a local hero and who deserves to be recognised, we want to know about them.

Send us the details of how they're going above and beyond for the local community and add a photo or a video if you can.

To have your local hero recognised – nominate them here.
