The most exceptional team or project will also receive the Director General’s award acknowledging a remarkable contribution to the WA health system.
The Minister for Health’s lifetime achievement award will honour a WA Health staff member who has demonstrated long-standing commitment to improving health care in WA.
Returning for 2024, the 7NEWS Health Heroes category encourages the WA community to nominate a standout frontline healthcare worker. This award was introduced last year to highlight the extraordinary care delivered by doctors, nurses and midwives, allied health professionals, volunteers, ward clerks and other WA health staff.
