The Allied and Scientific Health Awards (the Awards) are an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the innovation, excellence and commitment that allied and scientific health professionals bring to SA Health every day.

Allied and scientific health professionals are central to delivering holistic, patient-centred care, supporting prevention, diagnosis, rehabilitation and long-term wellbeing. More than 5,500 professionals across 26 disciplines work across South Australia’s metropolitan and regional public health services, improving outcomes for patients and communities.

The Awards highlight initiatives delivering tangible improvements in patient care, safety and service delivery, reflecting the growing influence of allied and scientific health professionals in shaping system reform and clinical innovation.

Following the success of the inaugural event, the 2026 Awards will expand in scale and ambition, bringing together clinicians, researchers, executives and system leaders from across metropolitan and regional Local Health Networks and the broader health sector.

In 2026, the Awards will evolve into a formal dinner event, held on 16 October at The Sanctuary, Adelaide Zoo.

Nominations for 2026 will open in April with dates coming soon.
