Inspire Award 2024 nominations close

The Western Health Inspire Awards recognise employees and volunteers, individuals and teams, whose actions inspire others to live our values. They offer you another way of saying thank you to someone who has made a difference to your day or to the experience of patients or others.

We would like to encourage patients, visitors, employees and volunteers to help us promote our values and a positive workplace at Western Health by nominating individuals or teams who are making a difference for an award.

• Compassion – consistently acting with empathy and integrity and improving the experience of patients.
• Accountability – empowering our staff to serve our community​, taking responsibility for standards of care or service, being positive and productive and using resources responsibly.
• Respect – for the rights, beliefs and choice of every individual, communicating respectfully in all situations and recognising and respecting diversity.
• Excellence – inspiring and motivating, innovation and achievement, demonstrating high standards of work, helping others learn and improve and working well with others.
• Safety – prioritising safety as an essential part of everyday practice ​and looking out for the safety of others.

All you have to do is to tell us why your nominated person or team deserves a thank you and we will enter them into the next award process. To ensure your nomination is successful:

• Explain what they did which has made a difference to your experience or the experience of others. Include examples and provide as much detail as you can.
• Please make sure that you address the following criteria. How did they contribute to fostering a positive workplace? How did they demonstrate the values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Excellence and Safety?

Nominations can be submitted via Online Nomination Form or the Nomination form (Word version) and close on 12 April 2024. Award winners will be announced at a live streamed presentation event annually.
