Finalists for the 2025 NSW Health Awards have been announced, recognising staff and volunteers for another year of outstanding healthcare delivery.
From 3D bioprinting skin for burns patients to specialised programs supporting farmers with their mental health, the 27th edition of the awards will showcase the excellence delivered across the NSW public health system every day.
NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM said she was 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.
"The people, teams and programs nominated for this year's awards are of a very high standard, which demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class healthcare for the NSW community.
"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."
Award categories include the Health Equity Award, Keeping People Healthy Award, Transforming Patient Experience Award, and the Health Innovation Award.
"All of the nominations really showcase the impressive and important work being undertaken throughout the state, so choosing the 41 finalists was a challenge for our judges," Ms Pearce said.
"Through the Volunteer of the Year Award, we also recognise the significant contribution of community members throughout NSW who selflessly support our patients, their carers and families, and our staff."
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 and via livestream on the NSW Health website.
The full list of finalists is available at 2025 NSW Health Awards.
