Volunteer of the Year

​​​​​NSW Health considers its volunteers to be valuable members of the workforce, essential to the delivery of public health services across NSW. Their tireless and enormous effort directly supports and delivers better outcomes for patients, their families and carers, staff and visitors. 

The Volunteer of the Year Award recognises the significant contribution of an individual to volunteering within NSW Health.

This award acknowledges a volunteer who:

• provides excellent support for patients, carers and families​​
• acts as a role model for volunteering in NSW Health helping to promote volunteer services and inspire other volunteers
• has used their voice and valued experience as a consumer to contribute toward​s health system change
• uses new and innovative ways to engage patients, carers and families.

Please note: Nominations for volunteers who are consumer representatives should only address activities that they complete in a voluntary role and do not include activities that are re​munerated.​​​
