English defender Hayes, 27, has helped Celtic's SWPL title and Women's Scottish Cup push.
Postecoglou replicated his league and Viaplay Cup trophy wins from last season and could complete the treble.
His team meet Inverness Caledonian Thistle in next month's Scottish Cup final and Celtic will face Rangers in the Women's Scottish Cup final later this month.
Celtic's Jota won goal of the season for his September chip against Rangers.
Rangers won both young player of the year awards, with Malik Tillman receiving the most votes in the men's category and Emma Watson taking the women's prize.
Twenty-year-old American attacker Tillman, on loan from Bayern Munich, has scored 12 goals this season.
Midfielder Watson, 17, helped Rangers win the SWPL Cup and netted twice in Scotland's recent win over Costa Rica. She could yet finish the season as an SWPL title winner with Rangers, Celtic and leaders Glasgow City all in contention to finish top after next Sunday's final fixtures.
Highlights: Scotland 4-0 Costa Rica
