Winner: Small Acts of Kindness​ Award

Every day at NSW Health our remarkable people perform small acts of kindness that make a big difference to the people of NSW.

Small Acts of Kindness is a long-standing initiative that recognises and celebrates the kindness shown by staff throughout NSW Health. The Small Acts of Kindness Award celebrates individuals who contribute to our culture of kindness at NSW Health. ​

 

Lachlan is a compassionate and skilled paramedic at NSW Ambulance who delivers critical care. Even in high-pressure situations he brings warmth and reassurance to everyone around him.  

His thoughtful gestures reflect a deep commitment to both clinical excellence and human connection, while his empathy and warmth remind us that kindness is at the heart of our outstanding healthcare.
