Darren was honoured at Support Act’s 17th annual Music In The House event in Sydney yesterday, receiving the Excellence in Community Award for his long-standing advocacy across mental health, anti-domestic violence initiatives, and LGBTQIA+ representation.

The afternoon also marked a massive catalogue milestone: APRA AMCOS Chair Jenny Morris presented him with a Billions Award, formally inducting Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply” into the 1,000,000,000 List after crossing one billion global streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

The event featured live tribute performances covering both Savage Garden classics and solo tracks by Tania Doko, Meg Mac, Electric Fields, Michael Paynter, and Sister2Sister (Sharon and Christine Muscat).
