We’re proud to share with you our Allied Health STAR Award winners!
The awards were presented at a special event on Monday 2 May. This was a chance for us to recognise the commitment and contributions of our Allied Health Award winners, and to acknowledge the wonderful work all our Allied Health teams do every day.
