About the awards

The Leadership in Nursing and Midwifery Awards presented by Deakin University and Health Super is an annual event recognising nurses who have contributed to the profession and benefited the public by improving health service delivery, capacity and/or policy.

These awards create awareness of the achievements of leaders in nursing, setting a standard to which future leaders in nursing may aspire. The awards also build leadership through research and education, mentoring and role modelling.
