The Jack Finlay Award was founded in 1961 by the late Sir James Kirby and commemorates Jack Finlay's services to Manufacturing Engineering in Australia.

The Award was made by the Australian Council of the Institution of Production Engineers, London (IProdE) from 1961 to 1991. In 1991 the institution briefly became the Institution of Manufacturing Engineers (IMfgE) and later in 1991 merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers IEE), to become its Manufacturing Division. From 1991 until 2006 the Australian Council of IEE made the award. Since 2006, after the IEE joined with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) to become the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the award has been given by IET (Australia).
