  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Wentworth is an Australian television drama series which premiered on 1 May 2013. The series, including its cast members and crew, have been the recipient of several awards and nominations, most notably at the Logie Awards, AACTA Awards and the ASTRA Awards.
