NOMINATIONS are now open for the 2025 HESTA Excellence Awards, offering health professionals in aged care, allied health, community services, and disability services the opportunity to gain national recognition for their work.

With a generous $60,000 prize pool, these awards recognise the exceptional work being done in a range of settings across the four sectors that is positively impacting communities nationwide.

HESTA CEO Debby Blakey said HESTA was honoured to be able to help highlight outstanding achievements across these four critical sectors.

“We are incredibly grateful for the commitment these professionals bring to our community each day. I encourage people from around the country to make a nomination and help us celebrate and recognise the remarkable contribution these individuals have made,” she said.

The awards recognise individual excellence and highlight the collaborative team efforts that drive progress and innovation within these sectors.
