NOW in its 27th year, the awards showcase the excellence delivered by so many people and teams across NSW Health every day.

 

Two local projects are among 41 finalists from across the state. CCLHD public health clinicians are competing for the Excellence in Multicultural Healthcare Award for their project Increasing Vaccination Access for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities, an outreach program which took education and free vaccines to TAFE campuses on the Central Coast.

 

Meanwhile a local cardiology team is behind Enhancing Guidewire Efficacy for Transradial Access (EAGER), an innovative contender for the Health Research Award. The EAGER trial was designed to test whether heart procedures performed through the wrist (transradial access) could be streamlined and made more efficient by using a smaller Baby J guidewire to reach the heart.

 

NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM said she is incredibly proud of the staff, volunteers and health programs that make up another remarkable group of finalists.

"The NSW Health Awards recognise the great work our staff do every day to improve the lives of our patients and the communities they serve," Ms Pearce said.

 

"I congratulate all the finalists, but I also want to acknowledge the exceptional work being done across the system every day by their colleagues – our teams of doctors, nurses, midwives, allied health and support staff."

 

Central Coast Local Health District’s Chief Executive Scott McLachlan said he is proud of the achievements of our local finalists who have been recognised for their passion and commitment.

 

“It’s wonderful to shine the spotlight on our local finalists and celebrate their achievements,” Mr McLachlan said.

 

“Across every corner of our organisation, our staff are giving their all – researchers are pushing boundaries, clinicians are reimaging care, teams are developing new services - and we’re very excited to showcase these efforts and the innovation happening right here on the Central Coast.”

 

The finalists and winners will be celebrated at the NSW Health Awards ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, 30 October 2025 at the International Convention Centre in Sydney.

 

The full list of finalists is available on the NSW Health website.
