"The addition of a category focused on caring for older people highlights the vital role our health professionals play in supporting Western Australians at every stage of life.
"These awards recognise not only clinical excellence, but also the innovation, leadership, and teamwork that underpin a strong and sustainable health system.
"I encourage staff and community members alike to put forward nominations and help us celebrate the individuals and teams making a real difference across WA."
