Nominations are open for the Australian Government’s Stronger Medicare Awards and Member for Dobell Emma McBride is encouraging Central Coast entries.
There are just under two months left to submit a nomination for the awards which recognise the contributions of people working in Australia’s primary care sector.
“Every day, there are Australians working in primary care who make a positive difference to our health, our lives, our families and our communities,” McBride ssaid.
“Nominating them for a Stronger Medicare Award is your chance to acknowledge their efforts and show them how deeply they are appreciated.
“This is our chance to say thanks to those frontline workers who go above and beyond and recognise these Medicare Champions.”
Primary care is the first port of call for Australians when they have a health complaint – from general practice to allied health, mental health and so much more.
If you know someone – working alone or as part of a team – who provides exceptional care or embraces innovation, nominate them as a Medicare Champion.
Since Medicare’s introduction in 1974, primary care workers have helped millions of people across the country and saved thousands of lives.
Medicare Champions go above and beyond to improve the health of their patients and people in their community.
