HESTA Primary Health Care Awards

National Primary Health Care Awards - judging is now underway

Australia’s frontline health service providers will now be able to achieve well earned recognition and rewards for outstanding performance through the inaugural HESTA Primary Health Care Awards.

HESTA in conjunction with AGPN created these awards to highlight excellence in primary health care.

HESTA CEO Ms Anne-Marie Corboy said the awards were designed to recognise innovation and leadership.

"These are clearly two fundamental elements of a skilled and responsive health workforce," Ms Corboy said.

"It enables us all to acknowledge the commitment of the primary health care workforce to ensuring quality, connected care for patients," Ms Corboy said.

AGPN CEO David Butt said the awards were timely in light of the incredible health reform agenda facing this sector.

"Just as the reforms promote greater integration, coordination and organisation between general practice and other allied health professionals who make up the primary health care workforce, these awards fundamentally recognise the role of all those who are usually the first the community turns to when they are sick or injured," Mr Butt said.

ME Bank has provided $30,000 in prize money for the awards which will culminate in a gala dinner at the AGPN’s National Forum, to which finalists will be flown.

There are three categories for nominations:

  • Young leader
  • Individual distinction
  • Team excellence
