“This year’s winners have truly gone above and beyond for their patients and contributed to the health of their communities, congratulations to you all.”
What do the winners receive?
Every RACGP Awards finalist is an inspirational doctor and a central member of their community. Recipients of previous awards have gone above and beyond to ensure their patients are at ease and have devoted their careers to enhancing the lives of others.
State winners for each of the four categories are recognised at state faculty Academic & Award Ceremonies and they receive a trophy and winners kit to help celebrate their win.
The national winners are then chosen from the pool of state winners and will be announced on 20 November. AMP
