Winners of the 2022 HESTA Excellence Awards were recognised for their inspiring work across the disability, allied health, aged care, and community services sectors.

Eight winners of the 2022 HESTA Excellence Awards were announced in recognition of Australia’s top organisations and teams working across the disability, allied health, aged care, and community services sectors.

Winners include an organisation who fly medical specialists to pop-up clinics in regional and remote NSW to support seriously ill children, a team who work to help address Australia’s aged care workforce shortages, and a team who provide culturally safe support for Aboriginal people with disability.

“A huge congratulations to all our winners and finalists. These teams and organisations have gone above and beyond to deliver critical services, making a real difference for so many people in need across Australia,” said HESTA CEO Debby Blakey.

The winners each shared in a $60,000 prize money pool to be used for further education, service improvement or team development, courtesy of longstanding HESTA Awards supporter ME.
