Integrating holistic services for generational change

Dear Colleague,

It is gives me great pleasure to introduce the 3rd Annual Excellence in Indigenous Health Awards. Having been involved as Head Judge in 2010, it was inspiring to see so much outstanding work being done across the nation to address the issues surrounding health disadvantage.

I invite you to submit your examples of excellence to the panel of judges. The winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner on the 28th of March 2012. The Gala Dinner will celebrate innovation, success and resilience in Indigenous service delivery and provide entertainment which celebrates Indigenous culture throughout the generations.

Your contribution is truly valued and I look forward to hearing the outcomes of another successful Excellence in Indigenous Health Awards.

Best Regards
Ken Wyatt MP
Liberal Member for Hasluck
