THE efforts of health professionals and organisations serving remote and rural communities throughout Australia, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, were celebrated last night as the winners of Rural Health Pro's 2025 National Rural and Remote Health Awards were announced at the National Press Club in Canberra.
Among the winners was Pharmacy 777 Pilbara, which won Rural/Remote Health Employer of the Year and was a finalist for another two awards (PD 07 Oct).
Benjamin Teo (pictured left)from Pharmacy 777 Karratha said, "These awards shine a light on the importance of rural and remote healthcare and the people who dedicate their careers to it.
"We're proud that Pharmacy 777's work in the Pilbara - building a sustainable workforce, collaborating with local health providers, and going the extra mile for patients - has been acknowledged on a national stage," he told Pharmacy Daily.
"It's a celebration of what can be achieved when communities and health professionals work together".
National Rural Health Commissioner, Professor Jenny May, joined more than 180 guests to honour the winners and celebrate the 30 finalists across 10 award categories and the contribution, innovation and dedication they make to the health of their local communities.
"It is an honour to be here to recognise the important work being done to build high quality health access for remote and rural Australians and celebrate the rural, remote and First Nations health professionals and organisations on a national stage," Prof May said.
"Thank you for your work and your commitment; thank you for being people that communities can trust and know will carry the message of real access, culturally safe and connected care," she said.
