I was amazed by the number of nominations we received for the 2023 Community and Oral Health Staff Excellence Awards.
An impressive 153 staff were individually named and nominated, and a further 16 teams are to be considered for the nine award categories.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate a fellow staff member or team, this was an exceptional effort.
In September, we will deliver a number of Staff Excellence Awards ceremonies at various sites based on the winners’ locations.
In the coming week, our judges will have the difficult task of looking at all the nominations and identifying our winners.
The winners will receive a local award and trophy donated by QSuper and be considered for the Metro North Health awards later in the year.
Congratulations to all the nominees!
