Each year, the Minister for Health and Wellbeing Excellence in Public Health Awards celebrate outstanding contributions to public health by local governments across South Australia.
There are two winning categories, one for regional councils and another for metropolitan councils.
The Awards showcase councils' essential and often unseen roles in supporting community health and wellbeing through public health action.
The winner in each category receives prize money of $3,000 to progress or improve public health in their local government area.
The panel will also honour ‘Highly Commended’ councils for their contributions.
All South Australian councils, metropolitan and regional, large and small, are encouraged to apply.
Have your council’s work recognised and be in the running to win $3,000 to bring further health and wellbeing benefits to your community.
Read the Nomination Guide and complete the application form by Monday 11 September, 2023.
Entries will be judged according to the criteria outlined in the Nomination Guide.
Winners and highly commended councils will be announced on Thursday 26 October 2023 at a dedicated awards ceremony.
