Awards honour individuals and practices which go above and beyond in caring for patients
02 Apr 2024
To mark the 40th anniversary of Medicare, the Department of Health and Aged Care is holding the Stronger Medicare Awards to honour the significant contributions of those working in the primary care sector and to showcase the vital role they play in Australia’s healthcare system.
The awards recognise and honour Medicare Champions – outstanding individuals and practices which provide exceptional care, embrace innovation, and work together to improve the health of their community.
Medicare Champions are individuals and practices which go above and beyond in caring for benefit patients.
Nominations are open to individual health professionals, practices or health centres, as well as multi-disciplinary teams working across the full range of primary care services.
Nominations are also open to the many hard-working people who do not have professional qualifications in healthcare, but work for primary care services to help patients access the care they need, when and where they need it.
