About Royal Children's Hospital Staff Awards

The strength of The Royal Children's Hospital is our staff.  Each year at the annual meeting of the hospital, awards are presented to members of staff who are nominated by colleagues for their outstanding contribution to the hospital in their chosen field.

Staff who are nominated for annual staff awards:

  • Reflect the hospital's values of unity, passion, integrity, excellence and respect
  • Are noted for their integrity and professionalism
  • Are respected by their colleagues and committed to The Royal Children's Hospital and its community.

Everyone who is employed at The Royal Children's Hospital, from any department, is eligible to receive an award.  Likewise every member of staff may nominate colleagues for an award.  The quality of the contribution to the hospital is a factor rather than the nominee's length of service.
