Access to quality healthcare is extremely important for rural communities and these awards are an opportunity to shine the spotlight on health professionals who have contributed to rural health in Western Australia.
Since 2008 Rural Health West has proudly hosted the annual WA Rural Health Awards (previously WA Country Doctors Awards) to recognise the outstanding contributions made by health professionals working in rural communities. Since 2017 WA Country Health Service has partnered with Rural Health West to recognise both long service and excellence in rural health care.
The Awards have become an integral part of the WA Rural Health Conference. This year's Award Ceremonies will be extra special as we celebrate both 2020 and 2021 Award winners.
These awards acknowledge general practitioners and medical specialists who have served rural WA for over 20 years.
These awards seek to recognise and acknowledge health professionals working in rural and remote WA.
