“Nominating for the National Rural and Remote Health Awards is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the unwavering dedication of individuals and organisations committed to the wellbeing of rural and remote communities,” said Rural Health Pro Manager, Jessica Rostas.

“I encourage the rural health community to get behind the Awards by nominating today!”

Entries will be assessed by a judging panel including rural health practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and advocates before finalists are notified later in the year.

The Award winners will then be announced at the National Press Club in Canberra, in Ngunnawal Country, on 6 November as part of Rural Health Month 2024.
