Applications are now open for the South Australian Preventive Health Award 2024, a joint award by the South Australian Branches of the Australian Health Promotion Association and Public Health Association Australia.
This award recognises outstanding contributions to health promotion and public health in South Australia. Together, AHPA and PHAA emphasise the importance of investing in disease prevention and health promotion, developing healthy public policies, and ensuring that a wide range of social, behavioural, and environmental preventative services and programs are accessible to those who need them most.
The South Australian Preventive Health Award recognises and celebrates leadership and excellence in disease prevention and health promotion practice. Preventive health spans all phases of life, and includes early intervention initiatives, health communication strategies, targeting risk factors, preventive health research, and actions to address the broader social, environmental, and political determinants of health and wellbeing. In 2024, we welcome nominations of practitioners working in any area of preventive health, and within any sector, provided they meet the criteria. The prize includes a certificate and a trophy.
Who is eligible for nomination?
Any person or group of people who you believe has made a significant contribution to disease prevention and health promotion practice, teaching or research in South Australia, over a number of years.
Who can nominate?
Any financial member of AHPA or PHAA may nominate someone, provided you are familiar with the contribution made by that person/group. You do not need the prospective nominee’s permission to nominate them. Self-nominations will not be accepted.
